Prepare yourself. Prepare yourself.
Open the Way.

Breathe now. Be now. Open the Way.
Breathe now. Be now. Open the Way.

(verse – 2x)
Open my eyes to the miracles around me.
Wake me up, wake me up.

(chorus – 4x)
Awaken me!

Open my ears to Your whispered words of guidance.
Wake me up, wake me up.

Shake me from my sleep, and stir me from my dreaming.
Wake me up, wake me up.

Sleep deep, sleep long.
Sweet sleep dream song.
Dream deep, dream long.
Sweet dream sleep song.

Gate, gate, paragate. Parasamgate. Bodhi svaha.
Gone, gone, gone beyond. Gone beyond the beyond.
Blessings on the journeyer, and blessings on the journey

Back to the river, Back to the sea
Back to the ocean, Home to Thee

Back to my blood, And back through my veins,
Back to the heartbeat, One and the same

I drink from many fountains.
I am watered at many wells.
I float in the waves of the Waters of Bliss,
Where my body and soul are held.

I dissolve in Your ocean; I surrender to You.
I release into Your real ease; I am Yours, through and through.

Walk the beauty way. Talk the beauty way.
Feel the beauty abide.
Give the beauty way. Live the beauty way.
Be the beauty inside.

The wings of the Mother are soft and strong
The heart of the Mother is never wrong
The arms of the Mother guide us along
Carry us over the ocean

O Dark Mother lead me inward
Down to the cave of my heart
