Lands of the East (Back to the Beginning) Lyrics

LANDS OF THE EAST
(Back To The Beginning)

Words: Gyle Waddy Music: Kana Bukuru Lesouple

Female:
Lands of the East
where the sunsets? glow
color Bordeaux
shows on the plateau.
Male:
Where peace is bestowed on those
who seek the Cosmic Light.
Back to the beginning.
Female:
Lands of the East
where the waters flow
and the faithful go
to wash their sorrows.
Male:
The serene contemplation of the
White Lotus.
Light of the Lotus.
Back to the beginning.
Female:
Lands of the East
Male:
where the temples grow
Female:
where the conscious go
Male:
to lay down their loads
Female & Male:
there we find abode and drift into a dream.
Supreme State of Mind is what we seek
Infinite wisdom that radiant Light.
That passage to life.
Back to the beginning.
Back to the beginning.
Back to the beginning.
The beginning.

The lotus is said to be a mythological plant. It is said the lotus has magic proprieties and when the grains are eaten it is said that one becomes languid and then one is carried towards the Light. The Lotus is a sacred symbol in Hinduism.
