We are all pursuing something
And we’re not sure where to look
We seek the wisest prophets
Sometimes from a book

If the truth is set inside us
It’s something hard to see
Our Brother Jesus told us
It alone can set us free

Perhaps we try too hard
And fight against the flow
Asking maybe too much
That may not be ours to know

If we find it very difficult
To cope with what has been
How can we hope to link with
A world as yet, unseen

Is that the real test?
Not if we win or lose
But the way that we find courage
When it’s hard for us to choose

Peel away the layers
Reveal the hidden self
Do all you need to do
Dig out your buried  wealth

In the turmoil of emotions, with joy we often cry
Have no sad thoughts for tomorrow, now yesterday’s tears are dry

We’ve a lot to be thankful for, don’t have a blinkered view
Open up your mind, and your heart will open too.
Love is never wasted, it’s energy cannot fade
Blown on the winds of kindness
To fulfil a promise made

Here I stand before you, as we share a bridge of love
A chance for some upliftment, and blessings from above

Polish up your spirit, until you make it shine
Know that we’re not separate
Because we are all divine.
