Suffering Is The Nature Of Samsara

I woke up on a mountain i had walked around the world

My family would have been so proud

I never had that kind of courage when i was a girl

Of all the children it was me who always cried out loud.

I cried out loud when a boy in my class

Poisoned my best friend.

He put her body in a box on the grass

I had so much to tell her but i never saw her again.

I'm trying to be true to what i believe in.

I grew up on the east coast of a place they call the west

I had a set of rules to go by

Followed them so faithfully i needed me a rest

So i took up with the guru but i didn't really know why.

Guru said "the pain you're in is nothing but a dream"

I told him "i'm unable to believe."

"well, that's a start," he said and then he ran out of gasoline

But i still think he's got something up his sleeve.

He's trying to be true to what he believes in.
