lyrics

O ye traveler, leave the path behind
Step out and all becomes the way divine
What ladder is this
Just behind the winged kiss?

O ye dreamer, leave all image behind
When it dissolves there’s not but union divine
What light appears
Beyond the tears of the seven spheres?

When the path begins to fade
And the jinn are on the come
You’ll know home ain’t where the heart is
It’s where you begin from

O ye lover, leave another behind
Turn your eye to the one face divine
What offers this embrace
From the abyss of our birthplace?

O ye sculptor, leave the self behind
When it departs you’ll be the form divine
Who’s life is this
In which we vanish?

When the call comes from inside
To transgress the rule of thumb
You’ll know home ain’t where the heart is
It’s where you begin from

There is a heart inside the heart
And a home beyond the seas
There is a you inside of you
And a me inside of me

When the inner tether is cut
And the the dimensions succumb
You’ll know home is where the heart was
And the place it’s coming from
