Open to Most

Seven monks marched through the woods Heads bowed with sacred vows Stunned by nude woman's cry Six wide-eyed monks plowed on One felt her plea, left to see Her tears, a rising stream Lifting her tenderly, one carried her cross So she could follow her dream Open to most, attached to few Yesterday had its, time with you Open to most, attached to few Today's present gift is here for you One rejoined the other six Those vexed by naked sights Six monks tossed and turned Lust haunted dreams that night Seven marched ahead, six stared behind Bent by broken vows When six howled, one sighed aloud I carried her once, but you still carry her now Open to most, attached to few Yesterday had its, time with you Open to most, attached to few Today's present gift is here for you Six monks woke at dawn Heard the word one prayed Feeling vow's inner truth Vibrates namaste Today I live on purpose I don't worship ancient vows I practice what they stand for This faith won't let me down To soar above green forests Step over fallen trees Crossing streams for naked dreams Once lost, but now they're found Open to most, attached to few Midnight echoes, farewell to you Open to most, attached to few Sunrise now shines, it's gift through you Open to most, attached to few Midnight echoes, farewell to you Open to most, attached to few Sunrise now shines, Sunrise now shines Sunrise now shines, it's gift through you
