Lyrics

Everything wants to come home.
There?s a place that?s naturally easy.
Like the gentlest crest
of a wave on the sea,
rising and splashing
and falling to rest.

There?s a simplest state of repose
for everything under creation.
Each day finds an end,
and electrons descend
to the orbit of least excitation.

For the stablest place is the ground,
and silence the simplest sound.
A perfectly wonderful thrill
gets enlivened when everything?s still.
Like a river descending on down a steep place,
life naturally settles to the simplest state.

And everything wants to let go
of the layers of all complication,
transcending confusion,
beyond all illusion --
consciousness in relaxation.

O there is a silence supreme,
beyond the quietest dream,
and here all creatures find rest,
as the sparrow returns to her nest.
For this is the Silence that structures all things.
If you listen real well you can hear how it rings In the heart of all things.

That?s why everyone wants to come home
to that silent unbounded foundation,
and see it wherever you go,
enlivening silence in motion.
So all of creation quite naturally shows
that the key to yourself is to simply let go.
