Where's the meaning? How can I understand?
Where's the Mother? Where's the love within?
Frustration all over me! Can't see the life!

Where is this going? What am I doing here?
Mother, please help!
Help me to see the love
Help me to feel the joy

Give strength to this waning pulse
Let my attention move within
Let me find the place where you reside

Mother!

Open up this heart of stone
Let it pump the cooling flow of joy

Let it wash away
this filthy mud of darkened thoughts

Let me find myself! Let me lose myself!
Let me give myself to you!

Let not frustration cover up the beauty of my soul
Lift me up so high above

Let not the darkness swallow up the peace of mind
Let the silence soothe my thoughts

I want to be immersed
in soulful meaning of the highest

Want to spread
the joyful meaning of the self

Want to give
the loving purpose of being one

Make me a fountain
Strong enough to spray afar
the loving drops
And quench the thirst of many
