Song#: 14
Album 34) What REALLY matters
Name of Song: You’re just you’re own best friend
I have a different past to you,
I come from a different place,
In fact, many places in many lives,
Well now, I have this face.
Hard to think of lifetimes,
How long we’ve been around,
Unreal to so many people,
The view one life abounds.
Chorus
Many many lifetimes,
Unreal to most of us,
Can’t imagine we’ve lived before
‘cause our body makes such a fuss.
We fall into its pattern
Of good little boys and girls,
You know the pain it can exert
So you stay outside the swirl.
_______
Here we are,
And there you sit,
Making plans
that calm a bit.
Ignoring what
We quietly feel,
Can’t go there
It’s too much zeal.
Chorus
Many many lifetimes,
Unreal to most of us,
Can’t imagine we’ve lived before
‘cause our body makes such a fuss.
We fall into its pattern
Of good little boys and girls,
You know the pain it can exert
So you stay outside the swirl.
_______
Can’t you just imagine,
Ignoring who you are,
Convinced you are a body now,
And also your new car.
Ridiculous I know it sounds,
But the urge is always there,
It takes some guts to disagree,
And resort to endless prayer.
Chorus
Many many lifetimes,
Unreal to most of us,
Can’t imagine we’ve lived before
‘cause our body makes such a fuss.
We fall into its pattern
Of good little boys and girls,
You know the pain it can exert
So you stay outside the swirl.

Bridge
Let me tell you something,
Seen with my own eyes,
Our minds have taken over from,
what was our own sublime*.
I tend to say it over,
And over and over again,
You’ve always been a spiritual being,
You’ve always been your friend.

I have a different past to you,
I come from a different place,
In fact, many places in many lives,
Well now, I have this face.
Hard to think of lifetimes,
How long we’ve been around,
Unreal to so many people,
It shockingly astounds.
Chorus
Many many lifetimes,
Unreal to most of us,
Can’t imagine we’ve lived before
‘cause our body makes such a fuss.
We fall into its pattern
Of good little boys and girls,
You know the pain it can exert
So you stay outside the swirl.
