[Verse 1]
Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream
It is not dying, it is not dying
Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void
It is shining, it is shining
That you may see the meaning of within
It is being, it is being
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 2]
That love is all and love is everyone
It is knowing, it is knowing
When ignorance and hate may mourn the dead
It is believing, it is believing
But listen to the color of your dreams
It is not living, it is not living
[Outro]
Or play the game "Existence" to the end
Of the beginning, of the beginning
Of the beginning, of the beginning
Of the beginning, of thе beginning
Of the beginning, of thе beginning
Of the beginning, of the beginning
Of the beginning, of the beginning
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Of the beginning, of the beginning
Of the beginning, of the beginning
Of the beginning, of the beginning
Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream
It is not dying, it is not dying
Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void
It is shining, it is shining
That you may see the meaning of within
It is being, it is being
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 2]
That love is all and love is everyone
It is knowing, it is knowing
When ignorance and hate may mourn the dead
It is believing, it is believing
But listen to the color of your dreams
It is not living, it is not living
[Outro]
Or play the game "Existence" to the end
Of the beginning, of the beginning
Of the beginning, of the beginning
Of the beginning, of thе beginning
Of the beginning, of thе beginning
Of the beginning, of the beginning
Of the beginning, of the beginning
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Of the beginning, of the beginning
Of the beginning, of the beginning
Of the beginning, of the beginning
