When i look out there from behind these eyes
it comes as no big surprise
that we are connected by the power of
transcendental love
in some wild disguise
all of us humans have to realize
that life is the greatest prize
and whether we're here or there we're all the same
nothing but a name
separates our lives
time to stop acting like we're paralyzed
stop dwelling on crazy lies
and look in our hearts for some humility
let it set us free
so the world survives
When i look out there from behind these eyes
we seem to be hypnotized
asleep to the underlying fact of life
there's no black or white
nothing lives or dies
any old path we choose will take us there
'cause there is the same as here
the past and future don't exist somehow
'cause it's always now
there's no time no "where"
hard to know whether we should laugh or cry
our minds are so mesmerized
the deeper we go the less there is to know
'till without our selves
we find paradise
