Cut the Spell

Lyrics by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo

Well we can try to see through all the madness

We can try to know what must be done

We can try to move unbound with habits

We can try to see the changes come

See the way without confusion

Sound the tone of pure display

Start the song of sweet compassion

Feel the love this very day

Why when it’s so like a circle

Must we go ‘round?

Why when it’s so filled with suffering

Must we go down?

And here are the Jewels, so precious

That we have found, yeah

And why in this time of auspiciousness

Should we be bound?

We can cut the spell

That heavy, heavy dream-like spell

Clear our minds with living light

That will take us through this night

Try to make it through this endless, long, dark night

Well, we will cut the spell of this commotion

We will break away from ego’s weight

And we will open up with pure devotion

And we will pass on through the Buddha’s gate

Clean it up with strength and power

Pass on through, don’t hesitate

Here it is, the final hour

I have come to liberate

And why when our hearts fill with longing

Do we still cry?

Waiting for the nectar and nourishment

We keep our pride

Holding our anger and jealousy

These things we hide

Sweet sound of freedom within us

Unveil our eyes

We can cut the spell

That heavy, heavy dream-like spell

Clear our minds with living light

That will take us through this night

Try to make it through this endless, long, dark night

Live in the Moment

Live in the moment

Straight from the heart

Being, being in space

One hand clapping

Love that is felt

For its simple simple face

Loving easy moment

Deep and simple time

Light and space in my mind

Oohh simple moment

Nothing much to do

Only me and you

Nothing to try, nothing to fear

Mistress of time, I am here

So easy, just here
