In the desert air
Standing on the road
Facing the sun
Breathe in
Lift up your arms
Open your heart
You can sort it out
Inside of yourself
Seeing things as they really are
But if you get tripped up and down all around
Please
Don't try
So hard
To find your light
It's easy
To know
It's all right here
Waiting for only you my
Precious dear
Turn your face up to the light
Set up for you
Set up for you
Although I don't know
Exactly what to do
With all I
I feel in my heart
It doesn't compare at all
To what I know we can feel
In our mind's eye
In a quiet room
Crossing your legs
Facing yourself
The touch of the breath
Right under your nose
Is totally
Where you sort it out
Get rid of your mind
And see things as they really are
But if you get tripped and down all around
Please
Don't try
So hard
To find your light
It's easy
To know
It's all right here
Waiting for only you my
Precious dear
Turn your face up to the light
Set up for you
Set up for you
And though I don't know
Exactly what we'll do
But I
Feel in my heart, yeah
It doesn't compare at all
To what I know we can feel
In our mind's eye
Your mind's eye
Your mind's I
Your mind's eye
Your mind's I
