[Verse 1]
Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream
It is not dying [2x]
Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void
It is shining, oh It is shining
That you may see the meaning of within
It is beginning, oh it is beginning

[Verse 2]
That love is all and love is ev'ryone
It is knowing, oh it is knowing
And ignorance and hate may mourn the dead
It is believing, oh it is believing
So play the game, existence to the end
Of the beginning, of the beginning

[Outro]
Of the beginning [3x]
