Sit Around the Fire Lyrics by Jon Hopkins

Music for Psychedelic Therapy

2021

[Spoken-word sample: Ram Dass]
Beyond all polarities
I am
Let the judgments and opinions of the mind
Be judgments and and opinions of the mind
And you exist behind that
Ah so
Ah so
It's really time for you to see through the absurdity of your own predicament
You aren't who you thought you were
You just aren't that person
And in this very lifetime you can know it
Right now
The real work you have to do
Is in the privacy of your own heart
All of the external forms are lovely
But the real work
Is your inner connection
[Break]
If you're quiet when you meditatе
If you truly open your heart
Just quiet your mind
Opеn your heart
Quit the mind, open the heart
How do you quiet the mind?
You meditate
How do you open the heart?
You start to love that which you can love
And just keep expanding it
You love a tree
You love a river
You love a leaf
You love a flower
You love a cat
You love a human
But go deeper and deeper
Into that love
Till you love that
Which is the source of the light behind all of it
Behind all of it
You don't worship the gate
You go into the inner temple
Everything in you
That you don't need
You can let go of
You don't need loneliness
For you couldn't possibly be alone
You don't need greed
Because you already have it all
You don't need doubt
Because you already know
The confusion is saying "I don't know"
But the minute you are quiet
You find out that, in truth, you do know
For in you
You know
Plane after plane will open to you
I want to know who I really am
As if in each of us
There once was a fire
And for some of us
There seem as if there are only ashes now
But when we dig in the ashes
We find one ember
And very gently we fan that ember
Blow on it
It gets brighter
And from that ember we rebuild the fire
Only thing that's important is that ember
That's what you and I are here to celebrate
That though we've lived our life totally involved in the world
We know
We know that we're of the spirit
[Break]
The ember gets stronger
Flame starts to flicker a bit
And pretty soon you realize
That all we're going to do for eternity
Is sit around the fire
