Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup

They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe

Pools of sorrow, waves of joy, are drifting through my opened mind

Possessing and caressing me

Nothing's gonna change my world





Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes


They call me on and on across the universe


Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letterbox


They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe





Jai Guru Deva Om


Nothing's gonna change my world


Nothing's gonna change my world


Nothing's gonna change my world


Nothing's gonna change my world





Sounds of laughter, shades of love are ringing through my opened ears


Inciting and inviting me


Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns


It calls me on and on across the universe





Jai Guru Deva Om


Nothing's gonna change my world


Nothing's gonna change my world


Nothing's gonna change my world


Nothing's gonna change my world





D


Jai Guru Deva Om








NOTE: "Me - one of my best songs. Not one of the best recordings,


but I like the lyrics." (John Lennon, 1971)
