FOR ABSENT FRIENDS…
(Dedicated to the memory of those who suffered and died in the Bhopal disaster Dec. 3, 1984
…and those still suffering.)
Om namo, namah shivaya…
there are times when it may feel so hopeless
Just what can one person do?
we can carry the weight of the helpless
and our absent friends
Om namo, namah shivaya…
Though mem’ries may fade in the darkness
And the light in our hearts may dim
But nothing can truly part us
from absent friends
-Solos-
Om namo, namah shivaya…
there are times when it all seems so pointless
Just what can one person do?
we can bring some hope back to the faithless
and our absent friends
CAMBIAN
nainam chindanti sastrani nainam dahati pavakah
na caiman kledayantrapo na sosayati marutah
(no weapon can pierce the soul;
no fire can burn it;
no water can moisten it;
nor can any wind wither it)
svalpam apy asya dharmasya trayate mahato bhayat
(Even a little bit of this real religion protects one from great fear -
the colossal sufferings inherent in the repeated cycles of birth and death)
Yo estoy cantando de mi corazon
Es la historia de mi vida
Que estaba camiando
Estoy cantando
Estoy camiando
Tenga pacienza porque cosas cambian
De mi corazon
Oh my heart …..Oh my love
Nature Boy
(Words and Music by Eden Ahbez)
There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy And sad of eye
But very wise Was he
And then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things, fools and kings
This he said to me
"The greatest thing You'll ever learn
Is just to love
And be loved In return"
(instrumental interlude)
"The greatest thing
You'll ever learn Is just to love
And be loved In return"
