Sit Around The Fire

Beyond all polarities, I am
 Let the judgments and opinions of the mind
 Be judgments and opinions of the mind
 And you exist behind that
 Ah so, ah so
 It's really time for you to see through
 The absurdity of your own predicament
 You aren't who you thought you were
 You just aren't that person
 And in this very lifetime
 You can know it
 Right now
 The real work you have to do
 Is in the privacy of your own heart
 All of the external forms are lovely
 But the real work
 Is your inner connection
 ♪
 If you're quiet when you meditate
 If you truly open your heart
 Just quiet your mind
 Open your heart
 Quite the mind, open the heart
 How do you quiet the mind? You meditate
 How do you open the heart?
 You start to love that which you can love
 And just keep expanding it
 You love a tree
 You love a river
 You love a leaf
 You love a flower
 You love a cat
 You love a human
 But go deeper and deeper into that love
 'Til you love that
 Which is the source of the light behind all of it
 Behind all of it
 You don't worship the gate
 You go into the inner temple
 Everything in you that you don't need
 You can let go of
 You don't need loneliness
 For you couldn't possibly be alone
 You don't need greed
 Because you already have it all
 You don't need doubt
 Because you already know
 The confusion is saying
 "I don't know"
 But the minute you are quiet
 You find out that in truth you do know
 For in you, you know
 Plane after plane will open to you
 I want to know who I really am
 As if in each of us
 There once was a fire
 And for some of us
 There seem as if there are only ashes now
 But when we dig in the ashes
 We find one ember
 And very gently we fan that ember
 Blow on it, it gets brighter
 And from that ember we rebuild the fire
 Only thing that's important is that ember
 That's what you and I are here to celebrate
 That though we've lived our life totally involved in the world
 We know
 We know that we're of the spirit
 ♪
 The ember gets stronger
 Flame starts to flicker a bit
 And pretty soon you realize that all we're going to do for eternity
 Is sit around the fire
