I am of earth, yet in the sky,
Tell me, Lord, oh tell me why.
In this world, on shores, in galaxies I roam,
Tell me, Lord, in this vast home.
Neither sense nor thought reside,
Joy nor sorrow as my guide.
Neither sense nor thought reside,
Joy nor sorrow as my guide.
Alone, I journey in a caravan's stride,
Tell me, Lord, oh tell me why, in the world I confide.

Walking I halt, then start anew,
Stopping, then a path I pursue.
Coming, going, without a cause,
Changing my way, defying all laws.
Neither sense nor thought reside,
Joy nor sorrow as my guide.
Neither sense nor thought reside,
Joy nor sorrow as my guide.
Alone, I journey in a caravan's stride,
Tell me, Lord, oh tell me why, in the world I confide.

What has happened, why this state?
Of this, I cannot relate.
I seem mad, it's true,
No story do I pursue.
Neither sense nor thought reside,
Joy nor sorrow as my guide.
Neither sense nor thought reside,
Joy nor sorrow as my guide.
Alone, I journey in a caravan's stride,
Tell me, Lord, oh tell me why, in the world I confide.
