All's quiet in the make-believe of business and success
And you've decided you've got time to take a ride.
But exactly where you're going can be anybody's guess
Because the only place you're going is your mind.
You approach with trepidation, some misgivings to a lady
Who is selling silver tickets by a door, for apart from
Being faceless, she holds a burning lantern
And a mirror and a double-edged sword.
"Have no fear," says the lady at the gate
And with a smile disappears before your eyes,
Now you hold her silver ticket in the hollow of your hand
That will set you free to conquer and to die.
When does the ride start? You're on it.
Where is it going? Nowhere, just your mind.
Who will guide us? Why, you will.
But where are we going? Nowhere, just your mind.
Flowing and feeling, Incredibly free
One knowing, One being
The whole world was me
And when I looked around my body was gone
My mind had flown and I was alone with myself
And with God who was me all along and the
Voiceless song of the universe filled my ears...
And as I stood in the sun I was life and life was one.
The endless sky, the open sea, each was some
Distant part of me.

flowing
sea of white light
pure light
white light
life
Nod in peaceful reverie
where the sun is always.
Nod in peaceful reverie
where the sun is always.
Summer sun lake
and grassy wood leaves
in quiet patterns lay.
Listen to the music
of a quiet summer day.
Since I've been here, things
Don't seem quite the same.
In the blinding light of life
It all seems such a game.
But take me by the hand
Don't try to understand
I just want to be in love with you,
That's all.
You tell me things I know,
That I've never heard
You show me how it is,
Without a spoken word.
My mind can't take the place
It's in, the strain it's been
The road it's on.
I'm going back to the city,
I'm going back to my home again.
Hey all you people, welcome to the city line
Hey all you people, you know you better toe that line
We've got lots of things to do
We've got laws and rules too
So step right in and we'll show you
The City of Toys and Games
Hey all you people, you want to know what's goin' down
Hey all you people, come in and have a look around
You will find some work to do
If you know what's good for you
So step right in and we'll show you
The City of Toys and Games
Take a look outside your window
Tell me what you see
Do you see some friendly people doin' what should be?
If instead they're in a hurry, nervous worry...
Then you know that you're just looking at
The City of Toys and Games
Walk around outside your window
Tell me what you hear
Do you hear the sound of the woodland music in your ear?
If instead it's cars and voices, airplane noises...
Then you know that you're just listening to
The City of Toys and Games
Stop and sit outside your window
Tell me what you breathe
Do you share a scented perfume garden with the trees?
If instead it's oils and gasses, dust and ashes...
Then you know that you're just living in
The City of Toys and Games
Luminous moments in the stream of life
Rush through me and I see the light
The dawn appears
Eliminates the tumult in my mind of self desires
The ego of mankind
Let me walk with mind set free
No be blind when there's so much to see
Free of temptations that suppress
Like a child's love and natural happiness
Let my mind be as a gentle sea
In the perfect state of tranquility
Not a closed door may it open wide
A flash of crimson hue I see
The light of life breaks through to me
My mind at peace and I walk free
