Long Distance Trip

by Samsara Blues Experiment

1.
Have you seen my queen, she´s a divine child And have you seen her ways, how they´re driving me wild When she dances like a lion, setting the treetops on fire May her eyes never tell me no lies, because I love her

Look at your life my father, what have you done In sixty years of living in shame and steady being on the run And what you tell your sons and daughters, what do you fear Yeah who will hear your prayer when the end is near They´re calling you a sinner since the day you´re born and wrote it in your mind But still you've got a chance to turn or live a lie So what about you mother, why were you weeping every night Thought it kept you on the tracks, always been by your side Say, what were the things that you've been dreaming of Where could you have been without the celestial one They´re calling you a sinner... Entering this holy house Feel safe from the one below But are you really pure in the eyes of your god Or is it just another show Let me read in your eyes And see the bottom of your soul You've never been a sinner, surely you´re not the only one The world it won´t be shaking and burning on that day when you´re gone You´ll never see the things that you've been dreaming of As long as you are bound to all these empty words They´re calling you a sinner...

A dazing gloom has set upon us But these evil seeds have been spread a long time ago Guess the sun won´t shine no more For all the years they shed their acid rain on me And they pour all their hate on me, pour all their hate on me The final doom has come to stay, I've seen its shadows rise and shine Heading off to the center of the sun Diving into the big black depths of our universe Need to get rid of this miserable life we live There´ll surely be some better days ahead for us Have to leave before my heart is bleeding out Can´t wait much ´cause it won´t take long And maybe I´m not the only who feels this way So come on now let´s get it on Gotta be free as long as I´m breathing Have to leave and find a new home Gotta hurry now and find that better place up there Right inside the center of the sun Gonna make this way beyond the horizon Setting controls for my time-machine And they´ll never know what I´m feeling Never see what I have seen Have to leave before my heart is bleeding out... Life is just a dream they say, while my life is just a dream away I heard ´em howling deep down in their black holes Said their fate was sealed and written in stone While my lifeline shines in its own bold tenderness And mushroom clouds are shifting by Their lifeless shouts mislead the eye And leave me in distraction

My life´s floating down into this cosmic sea I've been blinded by the sun and the stars that shined for me I never made it right, when distorted thoughts were pushing me I've been a rambling mind, always sought never seen Now you made me see, that all the lights are falling Down on you, down on me Having you by my side, I have learned to believe That freedom of the mind will erase all my agony Came from the mountains of madness To swim these swirling seas of love Free from delusion and sadness The freedom of life / the freedom of love Don´t be afraid of death she said and dance into this spiral of a life with me Just take my hand and let it be real And you will see your life has been really mean Now just let it be Come let freedom ring my friend I see the lights are falling down on you and on me Just let it be real We swam the magic ocean, many times We've seen the moon descent, while we crossed the rainbow twice So come take my hand now and be mine Let it be, come take a ride with me Come take a ride with me babe, come closer now We´re on a long distance trip right into the eternal mind Don´t you slip away now...
