Not This Body
I was born, I was born to die and from the time I could talk
I asked my mother why am I suffering
Day after day I seem to get it coming
In every conceivable way
You can imagine just how I feel
We're in it all together
It's just unreal
Now looking at myself I can see who I am
I'm thin and ugly and dressed as a man
But what I once was
Was small and cute
I used to fit in a tiny baby boot
But I changed my body
We do it all the time
You can ask anybody
Birth, youth, old age, disease and death
But I'm still on this spiritual quest
You can discover just who you are
A tiny spirit spark like a spiritual star
A person, a living entity
Drowning in the ocean of the material sea
Where do I belong, it can't be here
A place of birth, death, disease and fear
Nowhere to hide, no place to run
God help me, a place in the sun
I'm not this body so whose my real dad
I thought it was this guy but I've had
Had so many
Life after life
Dogs, pigs, cats, birds
Only trouble and strife
Take me home Lord
Home to stay
I can't stay here in hell for even one more day
I need your shelter to help me realise
I'm not the body that appears in either size
I'm a servant eternally
I plain just forgot cause I thought that God was me
Please forgive me
I lost my common sense
If I was the one then why am I
Why am I suffering day after day
It's all over now just as soon as you pray
Hare krishna hare krishna
I asked my mother why am I suffering
Day after day I seem to get it coming
In every conceivable way
You can imagine just how I feel
We're in it all together
It's just unreal
Now looking at myself I can see who I am
I'm thin and ugly and dressed as a man
But what I once was
Was small and cute
I used to fit in a tiny baby boot
But I changed my body
We do it all the time
You can ask anybody
Birth, youth, old age, disease and death
But I'm still on this spiritual quest
You can discover just who you are
A tiny spirit spark like a spiritual star
A person, a living entity
Drowning in the ocean of the material sea
Where do I belong, it can't be here
A place of birth, death, disease and fear
Nowhere to hide, no place to run
God help me, a place in the sun
I'm not this body so whose my real dad
I thought it was this guy but I've had
Had so many
Life after life
Dogs, pigs, cats, birds
Only trouble and strife
Take me home Lord
Home to stay
I can't stay here in hell for even one more day
I need your shelter to help me realise
I'm not the body that appears in either size
I'm a servant eternally
I plain just forgot cause I thought that God was me
Please forgive me
I lost my common sense
If I was the one then why am I
Why am I suffering day after day
It's all over now just as soon as you pray
Hare krishna hare krishna
