Remain Here 04:37
Hold on, the best is yet to come. Stay Still, you won't learn if you run. And sit with, all the good times and the bad. And seek joy, in all the things that make you mad. And you'll find, that time only exists in your mind. The contents of conscience, are only floating clouds. And you'll see we're constantly, lost in emotion. Just observe and you'll learn, these thoughts will soon float by. You must simply remain here, remain aware x2 Take time in the movements that you make. And befriend, the ones who give not only take. And love yours, like its the life you wish to live. And spread wealth, in harmony we learn to give. And you'll find, that time only exists in your mind. The contents of conscience, are only floating clouds. And you'll see we're constantly, lost in emotion. Just observe and you'll learn, these thoughts will soon float by. You must simply remain here, remain aware x2

My Time 04:21
It feels like we're all ignoring, the elephant in the room. Become so scared of exploring, and so quick to assume. Maybe it's not my war to battle, maybe I should let life take it's course. But i've seen too many victoms, and i've seen so much remorse. So tell me why we always seem, to fall inside these lines. You're part of someone else's scheme, if you're pretending life is fine. Don't need permission to be, got sick of stereotypes. I recognised their programming and took back what was mine. Cause it's my time, it's my time. See I was looking for a reason, to say it couldn't be done. But I realise that was treason, to watch this world become. A place of facades and depression, well maybe we're already there. But I feel a shift that's coming, maybe god answered our prayers So tell me why we always seem, to fall inside these minds. Waking life no different to a dream, in emotion we are blind. You're attention is far from free, be aware of how it's assigned. I recognised their programming and took back what was mine. Cause it's my time, it's my time. It's your time, and it's our time.

Will Be 03:33
Looking at the bigger picture I see, why it was written in the scripture we read. To be good is intuition speaking, so do we really need religion we preach? Cause now I see disharmony, confliction caused by different beliefs. Observing grief is hard for me, I fight for peace I will not retreat. But what will be, will be will be x2 Lately i've been telling people to run, from a life where you're feeble and shunned. Speaking out has become lethal to some. If my opinions seen illegal i'm done. But still I speak, of change we need. My optimism say's we'll be free. When I feel weak, my bravery. Reminds me i'm my worst enemy. But what will be, will be, will be x2 Don't you see, we're free, we're free. But what will be, will be, will be.

For You 05:26
I hope these words I sing, will resonate, maybe stop debate, and everything will be better. I wish, that we could all just take a break, from the anger and the hate, we all share an ancestor. And if we, took a bit of time to spread some love, paused at night to look above, you might feel a bit smaller. Cause I see, there's a light that shines in everyone, but the blinds are drawn on some stressed minds always caught up. Ooo but I do it all for you, for you, for you. I feel, like these walls we've built they're getting thin, why do we segregate by skin when beneath we're all water. Cause we've lost what it truly means to be yourself, we think that wealth will bring good health, life wasted as a hoarder. What we need, is not produced inside a factory. It's usually growing on a tree, eat green avoid slaughter. Do not obey society cause there's too many rules, no time for individuals, you shouldn't have to follow orders. Ooo but I do it all for you, for you, for you x4

If I were to tell you my secrets, you might not understand. For I am just, another perspective. In which we all perceive one. Don't look back if you're to find your direction. The past will only reflect. To change your life, you must submit to transcendence. Like water take no shape. Na na na na, I was feeling lost but now i'm found. Mm mm mm mm I payed close attention to those i'm round. Na na na na stuck in status quo you'll be earth bound. Mm mm mm mm you must realise all we have is now. All we ever truly have is now x4

about

A Bodhisattva is a buddhist term for a person that can reach Nirvana but delays doing so through compassion for suffering beings. I throw a twist on that with the Bro-dhisattva haha. Meditation has been incredible for my life and I believe practicing regularly allows you to understand yourself and your relationship to others. I was once drawn to the idea of retreating into meditation as a monk and escaping the world and its issues. But I wanted to make an effort to reduce other peoples suffering by sharing how I deal with my own suffering. Peace <3
