Fate can be a bitter pill
But hate makes it hard to feel
Love, peace, and emptiness
I’m crying from afar
Wishing on a lotus star
For love, peace, and emptiness
There’s a place we can go
Where we can fly so high but we won’t swoop so low
(Solo)
There’s a place we can go
Where we can fly so high but we won’t swoop so low
Illusion, it can’t be real
Confusion, always steals
Love, peace, and emptiness
What is emptiness?
Emptiness
What is emptiness?

Notes: I wrote Emptiness after going to see HH Dalai Lama in Pasadena, Calfiornia. He spoke about the meaning of "emptiness" in the Tibetan tradition and the dedication and respect for one's teachers. He basically said that the world we live in and everything we experience is fundamentally "empty" of any concrete reality and a type of illusion that we are experiencing together. According to Dalai Lama the true nature of mind is "clear, calm, awareness." I think that this is a difficult concept for most of us to understand, espcially when we get angry and confused, since those things tend to "steal" our clear, calm, awareness from us.
