Brainwashed Inspiration

[beatlemad]

Only saw this recently. I know it's from a book but don't know which - I know people here will know.
Anyway, I enjoyed reading it.

From the depths of slumber,
As I ascend the spiral stairway of wakefulness
I whisper:
God! God! God!

Thou art the food and when I break my fast
Of nightly seperation from Thee,
I taste Thee and mentally say:
God! God! God!

No matter where I go, the spotlight of my mind
Ever keeps turning on Thee;
And in the battle din of activity my silent war cry is ever:
God! God! God!

When bolsterous storms of trials shriek
And worries howl at me
I drown their noises, loudly chanting:
God! God! God!

When my mind weaves dreams--
With threads of memories,
On that magic cloth I do emboss:
God! God! God!

Every night, in time of deepest sleep,
My peace dreams and calls:
Joy! Joy! Joy!
And my joy come singing evermore:
God! God! God!

In walking, eating, working, dreaming, sleeping
Serving, meditating, chanting, divinely loving
My soul constantly hums, unheard by any:
God! God! God!

On the street of villaince taken for a ride
You can have the devil as a guide
Crippled by the boundaries, programmed into guilt
'Till your nervous system starts to tilt

And the room of mirrors you can see for miles
But everything that's there is in disguise
Every word you've uttered and every thought you've had
Is All inside your life --- the good and the bad

But in the rising sun you can feel your life begin
Universe at play inside your DNA
You're a billion years old today
Oh the rising sun and the place it's coming from
Is inside of you and now your payment's overdue
Oh the rising sun
Oh the rising sun

On the avenue of sinners I have been employed
Working there 'til I was near destroyed
I was almost a statistic inside a doctor's case
When I heard the messenger from inner space
He was sending me a signal that so for long I had ignored
But he held on to my umbilical cord
Until the ghost of memory trapped in my body mind
Came out of hiding to become alive

And in the rising sun you can feel your life begin
Universe at play inside your DNA
You're a billion years old today
Oh the rising sun and the place it's coming from
Is inside of you, now your payment's overdue
Oh the rising Sun
Oh the Rising Sun
Oh the rising sun
