Wise Man In Your Heart - Gong

I met a man, a wise old man, the day I lost my pride

He told me he belonged to me but from me he would hide

And that I would not hear his voice until I learned to sing

Now every time I sing I know that I belong

Belong to him

Singing O why… Singing O why…

He told me he would teach me everything I tried to know

He made me see that you and me are dreamers in a show

And when the days were darkest then he lit them with his moons

And then we crossed the rainbow bridge but we came back…

Came back too soon…

Singing O why… Singing O why…

He showed me where he was Atman that man I could not see

He pointed to the sky until a ladder I could see

I climbed for many lives to find the secret golden flower

And then I woke and found I’d slept for less than half…

Than half an hour

Singing O why… Singing O why…

He brought us back together then when I was all alone

He made me see I was not just of earth and skin and bone

O it makes you feel so beautiful you can tell your Self apart

Everytime you listen to the wise man in your heart

Singing O why… Singing O why…
