lyrics

I was wondering why existence is.
A freedom inside, but I can't get a grip.
'Til those velvet clouds slide in to view.
And it's not so bad, when the sun's shining through.

And it brightens up my day.
For these natural things are alive
And continue to be through love.
And it's that very same love that gives me the strength to battle on.

As I opened my mind I opened up to them
I let myself down all the time, I was a lost soul back then.
'Til this meditation introduced me to the truth.
Everything was one, forever, everything's with you.

And now I have this faith.
All natural things are alive
And continue to be through love.
And it's that very same love that gives me the strength to battle on.

So face that frown towards the velvet clouds.
Upside down, it will turn to a beautiful smile.
And they will turn to a beautiful smile.

If I'm lost, I don't mind.
For I know those velvet clouds
Will find their way to me
At just the right time.
To lift me up, and softly sway me
The right way.
Until the day I join them.
And then I will
softly sway
you, the right way.
