Seeking salvation
I stopped into a church
a priest led my procession
I could feel the coffin lurch
He said

    You are
    You are what you are, oh
    Surrender
    ego to the soul

    Now I have become
    comfortably loved

Desiring direction
I chanced upon New Age
my therapist would chant
and smudge me with her sage
She said

    You are
    You are what you are, oh
    Surrender
    ego to the soul

    Now I have become
    comfortably loved

    Voices
    giving me the word
    Voices
    struggling to be heard
    They say

    You are
    You are what you are, oh
    Surrender
    ego to the soul

    Now I have become
    comfortably loved

Trekking in Tibet
I climbed into a cave
when I was ready to emerge
a voice came through in waves
It said

    You are
    You are what you are, oh
    Surrender
    ego to the soul

    Now I have become
    comfortably loved
