This is a song I started working on in the mid/late 1980’s as I came up with and continued exploring the piano progressions, eventually merging them into this single song. I was learning about Buddhism at the time and eventually settled on the title, a Sanskrit word indicating our human wanderings through this world as well as the belief in rebirth.
You can’t change me
Girl, you won’t arrange the thoughts laid down in my mind
Through the soul of one
Who can’t but help feel
Riding on this life wheel
I must move along
Life it seems must be used to achieve our dreams
Don’t hold on now
I will soon be gone
Though we’ll remain always one
Through the soul of One
Who’s always been here
Though He may not seem near
We’ll never be alone
In the end, live to learn time and time again
Life it seems must be used to achieve our dreams
