lyrics

They Can read But They Cannot Write

Freedum is a psycho-kinetic skill
How is your response?
How is your response-ability?
They can read but they cannot write
We see the everlastingness in every-thing that's passing
Sa RI GA MA PA DA NI SA
They can read but they cannot write
Christ was divine simply because he add-mitted the fact
RA RA RA RA RA

Sharon Gannon

=====================================

We Are The Gods

We are the gods…we are the image makers
The maker of the form is the form
We live in a culture where people have forgotten she they are
Forgotten that they are the gods
There's dualistic separation based on time/tempo/degree
How much? How much?
The determining factor here is 'how much'
How white is some-thing? How black is some-thing?
How male is something?…How female is some-thing?
If some-thing contains enough some-thing then it is called some-thing
How much?
There is also the be-lief that the maker of the form
Is different or other than the form
We are the gods
The maker of the form is never
Different from the form
We are the gods…we are the image makers
