Under the bodhi tree, I saw you next to me
Closing your eyes and looking in
Clouds in the sky today
Thoughts as we drift away
Free from our wounds and from our sinIslands of loss, turn around
And bring your feet to the ground
For the sun shines within you
And it burns where you stand, all aloneYeah...Outside the temple gates
Something eternal waits
Endless and so misunderstood
Frozen in time you fall
Down from the highest wall
Clinging for life to what you could
Careless and bold, do I find
Myself I see so blind, so blind, so...I can't dream of yesterday
And everything I see remembers who you were
The day that you had come to me
And I can't find the words to say
Shouldn't it be easier than this?
So much easier than this, for meUnder the falling rain
I carry a broken chain
Poisoned and fighting for my soul
Simple and mesmerized
My anger is exorcised
Slowly my heart is turned to coalCareless and bold, do I find
Myself I see so blind, so blind, so blind
I can't dream of yesterday
And everything I see remembers who you were
The day that you had come to me
And I can't find the words to say
Shouldn't it be easier than this?
So much easier than this, for meI can't say no, I can't give in
I can't let go of what I'm in
I don't know how, it might be now
But it won't be all that you want from meFalling instead for me
I can't believe in meI can't dream of yesterday
And everything I see remembers who you were
The day that you had come to me
And I can't find the words to say
Shouldn't it be easier than this?
So much easier than this, for me
