Rumi - Serj Tankian

Oh dear Rumi

My little baby, I love you

You move me, my son

You improve me, 'cause you’re the one

The wisdom of the word, the source of all of creation

Ecstasy of devotion in the sound of every action

It’s driving to hear and see all life, an anomaly

Never lose thy wonder, the necessity of mystery

Be drunk with passion and the peaceful rivers of love

Close both your eyes and hear the distant flight of doves

Whn you’re grown up in your prime

Stay away from God and crime

Embody justic for this tormenting tormented world

You will learn something every day

Don’t dip your toes, go all the way

Be the change you wanna see and be the man you want to be

Oh dear Rumi, the supreme poet of love

You move me like the sun

Become the truth and hold it above all

Get lost in the breeze of the trees that stand tall

Don’t you realize that it’s all about knowledge and love?

Close both your eyes and hear the distant flight of doves

When you’re grown up in your prime

Stay away from God and crime

Embody justice for this tormenting tormented world

You will learn something every day

Don’t dip your toes, go all the way

Be the change you wanna see and be the man you wanna be

That you want to be

Dear son, I pray that your days are long

And your path matches your song

Your smile is worth every sacrifice in this life

Your breath now my reason to go on

I love you more than I ever could imagine

For anything on this earth

When you’re grown up in your prime

Stay away from God and crime

Embody justice for this tormenting tormented world

You will learn something every day

Don’t dip your toes, go all the way

When you’re grown up in your prime

Stay away from God and crime

Embody justice for this tormenting tormented world

You will learn something every day

Don’t dip your toes, go all the way

Be the change you wanna see and be the man and be the man and be the man you

want to be
