lyrics

When you’re trying so hard to figure it all out
That’s when you know it’s time to lay it down on the ground
When you get all stuck up in your head
You know that’s the time to lay your mind to rest

Chorus:
Oh mama mama, guide my way
Oh papa papa, I pray and I pray
Oh sister sister, hold my hand
Oh brother brother, help me take my stand

Then you look around see the trees and the sky
Listen to the birds singing songs so high
Look at the doggy walking down the street
He just walks his walk guided by his own feet

Chorus

The Mystery is calling
Gently it beckons to me
Sometimes it shouts and it screams
It sings to me, everyday I’m listening
Opening to hear what is meant for me

Chorus

Than you ask the one within and all around
You know this body’s temporary and you’re Spirit bound
So when you’re feeling lost, don’t know where to step next
Lay it on the Lord, because the Lord knows best

Chorus

When the people talk and try to tell you who to be
Just look em’ in the eye, say “only I can be me”
Great Spirit’s got a vision gonna set me free
Yeah!

Chorus

Oh mama mama, guide me guide me
Oh papa papa, stand beside me
Oh sister sister, help me reach
Oh brother brother, my higher self
