Our Divine Nature

i was,
born screaming, red in the face
lend me your lobes and i'll give you a taste
get out of my way if you ain't here to listen
twenty three years ago i was sent here on a mission
to teach people the key to heaven lies within them
we just need to focus and be attentive
lets get cohesive and make a plan that sticks
shining like diamonds with each puff of cannabis
tomorrows anew but nothings greater than the present
the time is NOW so we should never neglect it
introspection has got me thinkin that life is only what you make it
so i'm takin my doubts and breakin em down to basics
rearrange em, mold em, shape em
turn the tables and change my thinking
open my minds eye to illuminate the oasis
that sits adjacent to vacant waste pits
in the recesses of self
step through the shadow and realize
depression is a tool to your health
a treasure found covered in dust on a shelf
blow off the cobwebs and discover spiritual wealth

hard to imagine till it happens to you
it takes a lot of shit to get a garden to bloom
but like a lotus flower or the ugliest duck
the most beautiful creations tend to rise out of the muck
like the odd horse out with a jockey that never gives up
winning feels better when you've been down on your luck
cause once you hit the bottom shit can only look up
no need to sit in sorrow just grab the next rung
it might be dark for the moment but tomorrow we'll be seein the sun
the key to success is believing in love
we're in this together through the best and the worst weather
just have a little faith and a whole lot of trust
that your needs will be met
there's no need for regrets if you keep this in mind
please believe me because
i've been down in the trenches warmed many benches
and been the victim of some vicious shit
but no matter what i'm never givin in
cause life is splendid when you keep pushing on
take a punch turn your cheek and feel the strength that erupts

no need for retaliation when you've developed understanding and patience
life is amazing so what are you waiting for
take the plunge
dive deep in the rivers of bliss and swim in everlasting greatness
peace is attained when you stop holding on to hatred
calm your thinking and give thanks that you even have air in your lungs

we've got power beyond our wildest dreams, but for some reason can't conceive
the reality of our divine nature
there's nothing to fear because we are eternal beings
fate didn't leave you stranded in this land of lost souls
we put ourselves here as a game to watch our powers unfold
so sit back and enjoy the ride you'll be surprised
once you let go you gain more control.
