Lyrics Wise Man In Your Heart - Gong

Wise Man In Your Heart

I met a man, a wise old man, the day I lost my pride
He told me he belonged to me but from me he would hide
And that I would not hear his voice until I learned to sing
Now every time I sing I know that I belong
Belong to him
Singing O why… Singing O why…
He told me he would teach me everything I tried to know
He made me see that you and me are dreamers in a show
And when the days were darkest then he lit them with his moons
And then we crossed the rainbow bridge but we came back…
Came back too soon…
Singing O why… Singing O why…
He showed me where he was Atman that man I could not see
He pointed to the sky until a ladder I could see
I climbed for many lives to find the secret golden flower
And then I woke and found I’d slept for less than half…
Than half an hour
Singing O why… Singing O why…
He brought us back together then when I was all alone
He made me see I was not just of earth and skin and bone
O it makes you feel so beautiful you can tell your Self apart
Everytime you listen to the wise man in your heart
Singing O why… Singing O why…
