lyrics

i thought i was a unique being
the star of the grander scheme
but now, after some more living, i see clearly
i am a passing thing

i want to love as honestly as god
as a thirsty tree, a bodhi leaf
as my mom

but how my selfishness can make an awful mess of such pure joyousness, of honest contentedness
come to me, happiness
my sweet, my kind mistress and take me far from all distress
make me whole
come on and make me whole
just start the car and take me home
just start the car

i've loved
i've loved so earnestly
and lost
i've lost things so dear to me
but now, after some more thinking
i see that it's me causing such tragedies

it is

but things are different now
im feeling better now
fresh out of birkenau
i'm on the up and up

just a brief acknowledgement
some vague admonishment
total enlightenment, what a noble cause
but these days im seeing the father everywhere
these days im seeing the father everywhere
these days im seeing
