"The Three Marks Of Existence" lyrics

"The Three Marks Of Existence"

How does the rose open its heart and give the world its beauty?
It bathes in the light, the love of the sun encouraging its blooming
You be the ground where nothing is sown and plant the seeds of love to grow
Cultivate the change you seek. Love is not a song sung by the weak

When in the trap of doubt
Remember it's a cloud
This too shall pass and fade
Impermanence to pain

What is the body but a shadow of a shadow of our love
In which the whole universe resides
There is only wind in that well
And there have always been keys in the cell
It takes compassion to confront your pain
It takes strength to be vulnerable enough to float on the rivers of shame
Be ground, be crumbled, you've been stoney for too long

Let wild flowers grow where you are
Let your heart burst, let it explode

Let wild flowers grow where you are
Let your heart burst, let it explode

Let wild flowers grow where you are
Let your heart burst, let it explode

Go
