Where you've been ain't where you're going, past those walls you've built yourself the world unfolds for those who see right through, the Lila's scenes and ques. Days go by and we search for lifetimes as I walked in , my love stepped out. All my life, I lived in daydreams, searching for my endless end over mountain passes to the golden seas I searched for you Cause I saw love and I can't unseen it it comes and goes but lord it's sweet But then it rained, and your father took you far away, now I'll never know, all of the colors of your soul. I waited for the day, but you never came But was it you, hidden in all things, it's not out there, it was always here, within.

Ravi 04:07
I've been trying to make sense of things that just can't be explained I gave up and said I can't know anything, it's all engrained Why do you worry darling, there is love inside of everything At the ends of thought, I found the peace of mind I dreamed about stillness waits for those who turn the tide to seek the world inside One day I will rise and see your face Swim into your eyes to outer space.

Stageplay 03:44
In a way the worlds a stage where we create and we can change Between scenes and after acts, we fool the crowds with tears and laughs But in the wings you always know, that it's always just a show and in the end, you must find who runs the lights. I had awoke within my role. Was I cast in the wrong show, the sea of eyes, stared into mine Rainin, I walked right off that stage. But the lights turned and the scene changed. This endless show, that change defines and brings to life. That's the show that we put on, we change our costumes change our parts, but underneath, we're all the same, we all want love, we don't want pain. You are a soul, you're not your role, shed your skin and your ego. Drop your role and you can walk right off the stage.
