Got directed here via a friend invite (I always check out the tribes that people belong too when receiving invites) Anyway I wrote these lyrics in a thunder storm in the early hours of August 2005 whilst on the Rose and Jasmine camping site Abpara Islamabad, Pakistan. I had just returned from Sharda (Abode of Goddess Sharda in the Neelam Valley (where the Earthquake hit a month later. interestingly I left the East coast of India a week before the Tsunami).
The lyrics were written with the Jose Feliciano tune rain in mind, but if you like em and can use them then please do (and in the amasingly unlikely event you make any money from them send my share of the royalties to the Pakistan Earthquake relief)
The Sufi (lyrics by mj_mcewen)
Last night I danced, I danced in the rain,
As it poured I felt it wash, wash away my pain,
as each drop fell to Earth,
I saw it take away the blood of my re-birth,
Then reaching out my hands in JOY,
I could see I was neither girl nor boy,
chorus (like J Feliciano's "rain")
Listen to it rain, listen to it pour
With every drop know that God loves you more
Please listen to thy call
Come forward girl and boy
Follow me into the rain
move from madness to being sane
As the waters washed, washed my skin
so they clensed, clensed my sin
Then bathing in the light,
The light that shines through day and night
I realised that we have nought to fear
As long as you, me and God are near
chorus
Now I know we are one with Heaven and Earth
Now I know we are more than just clay and dirt
We are one with each other
In the waters we are sister and brother
When we are wet to the skin
Then we we are all just one kin
chorus
Now stand with me and look at the sky
Know that I is God and God is I
Know that God is JOY below and above
Know that God is JOY and JOY is Love
Know that as long as we stand togeather
Then God's Love is greater than any weather
chorus
Now the time, the time has come
when we must all stand, stand as one
Brother and Sister togeather in the rain,
Where we can share the JOY and Pain
Come to know God as Peace and Love
Now is the time to follow the Dove
chorus
regards,
peace, unity and love
