I have tried them all in my search for truth On a hungered quest since I was a youth Astrologists, Numerologists, and Tarot Cards Readers, Psychics, Seers, and spiritual leaders
I’ve tried them all, seeking to unlock the door While questioning one I would find one more All in search of this thing called God Using my heart as my measuring rod
Using my mind to question my heart Even using my money paying my tenth part Reading, pondering, medicating, and praying All the time my belief in God was fraying
I’ve forgotten more “truth” than most people have learned Spending sleepless nights I have tossed and turned For I had to know and see God for myself A thousand books sit upon my shelf
The more I learn the less made sense I’ve spent my life sitting on the fence First Jesus then Buddha, then no God at all I’ve spent so much time at the Wailing Wall
Begging God to let me know if truth could be Known to a simple seeking man like me Or was it all a lie told to make us feel glad Why were others so happy when I was so sad?
Or maybe all life IS suffering and in the abyss Maybe to follow ones dream and to follow one’s bliss Is nothing more than a placebo pill That we all have to take to understand free will
And the road to Mecca has many paths and ways And the truth has not changed since the early days When we looked at the stars and the cards for the answers ‘Cause on the stage of life we are all fickled dancers
That we must let go from the truth that we cling The truth of the matter is that truth doesn’t matter And you must let go and all beliefs you must shatter.
In order to find you must lose what we know Let go of the rod and only then will God show That to know that you know you must be willing to submit It’s all about you, to yourself now commit
The journey to truth is a road with no end The more that you know the less time you will spend Studying the journey of others, those journeys were theirs The real journey is yours so get rid of the prayers
It’s not about begging the stars and the cards It’s not about numbers or inches and yards It’s not about Mecca or Allah or Zeus It’s not about Buddha or men who seduce
It’s all about NOW, ‘cause that’s all that we know Be it the past or the future we must let it go The more that you know it is JOY that we seek It’s not about being humble and meek
It’s all about YOU; it is YOU you must love There is no below, there is no above The Psychics, and Seers, and spiritual leaders Love you for your money they are true bottom feeders
Listen to your mind and your heart for the truth Your heart and your mind are the bloom of your youth Stay young in your thinking, always wanting to learn Commit to commitment, it is wisdom you yearn.
Let Jesus and Buddha and Allah live on The words of the dead are as dead as St. John Let the Seers see the future and reveal all they can As for me there’s no more than to say that I AM.
Think about it.
