Song#: 11
Album 42) Karma
Name of Song: A long time ago
A long time ago
I was much more *sublime,
More extroverted
and observing my mind.
Reactions were foreign,
I observed and resolved,
It never occurred
to become more involved.
You may remember
those times long ago,
Of feelings though faint,
But to you they still show.
Remember yourself,
You were kind and observed,
Pervaded with all
your being and your nerve.
Chorus
Our life is determined
Not by how life treats us,
But by how we treat life,
Our kindness a must.
Our life is determined
Not by how life treats us,
But by how we treat life,
Our kindness a must.

So what do you say,
Remember yourself,
It’s not really hard.
Just come down from your shelf.
You have such Greatness,
Look close at your life,
Something that shines
and not made of strife.

I say you’re a spirit,
Not a body or a mind,
Things kept on happening
and we became stuck in time.
Time is so sticky,
We all so agree,
We must find the guts
to unstick and go free.
Time is so sticky,
We all so agree,
We must find the guts
