Lyrics:

Make
Your home, you God, your soul
Make
Your love within for yourself

Don’t crush, the world that you’ve once made
Your past was made to be forgiven, forgotten, and changed

There’s no need to save your soul
Before you reach your final toll
It’s just a mystery that can’t be told
There’s no (need to find a Lord)
For there is never one true home
Just a love that gave you hope

Chorus

Death is just a notion that’s been left inside the ocean
in a mix of you and me
All that I have seen, will soon become a memory
of a puzzle which is me

So give us HOPE and give us LOVE
and give us all of the above
Wanna die knowing I expired

I want to reach every country
while tasting every delicacy
I wanna die inside my dreams

Chorus:

Feelings and Beliefs, as I’ve traversed all these states
of minds and countrysides, there’s a thread that commonly binds

Black, White, Christian, or Islam, I find there is no holy one
The truth is that the truth is neither one
To Buddha, Krishna, Confucius , they're just expressions our love
A truth that can’t be sung....

Chorus
