In body I am still the same
there has occurred no change, except for age
the mind however, now that’s a totally different game
the mind is not stuck in this cage…
It is not bound, to earth, to tread
to all the different ways we tend to waste our lives
nor to the setting of the sail, or to seas of dread
to nothing chained at all it thrives…
Not constrained it is, to death, to time
nor to the many ways we know how to destroy each other
the mind is free, and it can learn to fly
so from earthly woes it has no bother…
The mind is truly marvelous
whatever body it inhabits or calls its cage
the mind, the power, immortal excellence
once from body disengaged…
Mind over matter, does one say
it sounds a wonder, but is no lie indeed
it is in us, shallow, deep, just look inside
find the truth, and heed…
In body I am flesh and blood
In mind, a god…
