If you knew for sure
you were gonna come back
That would make all the difference to
how you conduct yourself now – said the sadu
You’d be more mindful
In dealing with others
Cos everything counts,
absolutely everything counts, he said

you have to prepare
for the next journey

CH.

If I can just, If I can just
If I can just, If I can just still my mind

Step out on the path
Take nothing with you
Build no houses
It’s a long journey home
The moon and the stars
Mountains and rivers
Flowers and trees, all there
All there, all there for you

Our lives have been blessed,
blessed with good fortune

CH.

If I can just, If I can just
If I can just, If I can just still my mind

BR.

If I can make my spirit stand still
Just long enough to know what I’m hearing is really god’s will
I might progress instead of markin’ time
If I can just, If I can just still my mind

You have to know when god is smiling in your face

CH.

If I can just, If I can just
If I can just, If I can just still my mind
