Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
All of my life I felt that you were listening Watching for ways to help me stay in tune Lord of my dreams, although confusion Keeps trying to deceive What is it that makes me believe in you? Babaji, oh won't you come to me Won't you help me face the music Bring it out so we can sing it out Help me to find it before we lose it At night when the stars are near And there's no one to keep you from coming here And there's no one to shield me before your eyes Is it mine, is it mine, is it mine to know? I can see it's not too good to me To be afloat in the sea of glory Babaji, oh how you comfort me By showing me it's a different story Your light in the dark is real And I know that you know it is how I feel When I see the reflections that's in your eyes Is it mine, is it mine, is it mine to know? Babaji, have you a song for me To tell the world of its guardian angel Bring it out so we can sing it out Oh must you always remain a stranger? At night when the stars are near And I long for delusion to disappear The I see the reflection that's in your eyes Is it time, is it time, is it time to know
