Fallen soul
growing old
trapped in mold
thinking gold
give it up
it's just the modes
been there before
it comes and goes
but don't suffer throes
take shelter of your heros
it takes a moment
of sincere movement
to seek the shelter
of the Glorious Master
I'm so shameful
I'm not even bashful
that I present myself bofore Him
Serve His servants
is the only entrance
into His gorgeous presence
"I'm too fallen" is Maya's callin'
pick up the Holy Names
Chant Jai Sri Radhe! Jai Sri Shyam!
Chant Girivaradhari all day long!
Radhe Gopinatha! Radha Gopinatha! Gauranga Nityananda! Gopa Gopinatha!
Sri Gopal! Sri Gopal! Hey Nandananda! Yasoda Dulal!
Life is never dull. If you keep it full
of constant rememberance of He who makes you whirl
You need to hear more, to read more, to study
keep your mind busy so it wont steer you nutty
Been through all sorts of stages
of life, up and down
could write pages and pages
of how I've done it wrong
But one thing is right, and that's all that matters
Causeless mercy shines bright - the darkness it shatters
Don't fear it, don't hide, it won't hurt a bit
you'll lose absolutly everything which is giving you sh*t
this material world is so full of sorrow
it makes you and breaks you like there's no tomorrow
it's sweet in the thought but that's not what counts
it rapes you and chains you and tells you you're caught
but becoming free happens so easily
by truthfully calling the names of Hari
Nitai! Nitai! Nityananda my Lord!
My only shelter is your solemn word
To save the most fallen
of them I am one
Protect me and guide me
brinig me to the son
Of Nanda Yasoda
Jagannatha Misra, Saci
Sri Krishna Chaitanya
Gauranga Hari
I have nothing to offer
but my dry empty heart
full of piles and piles
it won't come apart
Please send in the rains
of Your holy names
And wash away all of the hard encrusted grains
of dirt and grime and rust and time
and there in that place erect a most auspicious shrine
wherein You can take rest and live nicely within,
served by showers of nectar which you're relishing
let me somehow or other
surrender to you
give up whatever
is holding me to
this network of senses, the mind and the rest
this cloakwork of ego, a straightsuit at best
I'm a dangerous criminal, a god-awful thief
ready to steal and plunder whatever gives me grief
mistaking that which is temporary
for my eternal shelter
thinking my body is my true well-wisher
that which my senses draw to their touch
is readily brining me closer to death
Please! Please! I BEG YOU!
Let me not lose this life!
Let me completely surrender
let me not do it twice
I have only a short time
before I'll be forced to go
Let me stay in the shelter of my Gurudeva's shadow
Please let me serve him, and please him no end.
Let me be humble an insignificant hand
who helps carry his mission throughout the land
brining souls who are fallen back to You again
I'm weak and I'm lowly, afraid and I'm hungry
I have nowhere to turn, but somehow please help me
I know I'm not worthy, but that You don't consider
You're the greatest of the greatest, but You only see that others
are special and wonderful and you only take the best
not caring for all the filth in the darkness
I cannot stop praying, for the moment I stop
I'll be captivated by Maya and turn and will drop
the security line, which is pulling me forward
back to Godhead, back to service, back to the mercy up top
Because I am thinking that "I am this mind"
never satiated always thinking
maybe next time
but no, not next time, you won't get enough
your sincerity is flowing, but you've said 'nuff stuff
Keep praying and chanting, and let the devotees guide you
take shelter and Maya will skelter if you stay close enough
Gauranga! Nitai! Nrsimha! Ki Jai! Srila Prabhupada, please
keep me from offending these, exhalted devotees whose mercy
I desperately need to seize
Please forgive me again, for carrying on
It'll save me one day, by singing along
with Your high Holy Names which are expertly sung
by poets and saints and the whole creation
Hare Krsna Hare Krsna Krsna Krsna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
Gurudeva please save me. You're my only hope.
