Lyrics

I am a god in my own little temple
that might sound complicated, but it's really quite simple
What I see in myself, you'll see it in my face
my body's just the product of the thoughts that I create
and if I change my mind, I change my state
If I change today, I change my fate
So who am I gonna blame when I'm down and jaded?
Who am I gonna blame when I'm feeling wasted?
Who am I gonna blaem when my hope has faded?
This is the life that I created.

What you see is what you get
What you see is what you get
There's one thing I can't forget
What I see is what I get.

Listen, what you see is what you get
Just visualize that things that you need
life has a way of bringing you these opportunities
Is it logical? Does it make any sense?
Is there more to this than just coincidence?
Concentration, meditation,
all directly result in love's manifestation
and I'd like to express my appreciation
for the beautiful things I have in my life
I'm not all caught up in the pain and the strife
I just think about the things I want to see
and I see, and I see, and I see

What you see is what you get
What you see is what you get
There's one thing I can't forget
What I see is what I get

Now the pain is just part of the dance
But perception is more than just experience
it's not what you go through- it's what you know
Suffering... is optional.
Memories are like a chronic disease
they can bring a grown man right down to his knees
so learn from your past, and baby deal with it
or you'll constantly be repeating it
You've got a mind, you've got the power
Sweetie, if you want to, you can start right over
just cut your ties, and realize
this life is a decision-
Just decide.
Just decide.

What you see is what you get
What you see is what you get
There's on thing I can't forget
What I see is what I get.

This is the church
This is the steeple...
