I was born not ready to live
I’m not going to die until I’m ready for death

How I marvelled at the world
How I marvelled at man
But I was troubled by what we do
Troubled by what we say
Many men have suffered before 
They wrote down what they found
Learn from it and build on it
Make the cycle go round

To find myself I had to lose myself
To save your souls we each have to save our own

Trapped in a web of cause and effect
Cut loose, break free, from delusion to eternity

I searched for the truth far and wide
Until the veil fell from my eyes
I held on to love and to dreams
I let go and then love found me
I sought refuge on the mountain
I sought refuge at sea
But the true rock of refuge
Was inside me

Looking for pleasure led to pain
Looking for peace made me start
Restoring to glory
The eye of the heart
When it’s time to shed my skin
Let it be like I’m trying to live
With a mind like the blue sky
And a heart full of sunshine to give

I was born not ready to live
Until I die I’ll get ready for death
