Silence of my Heart (Gate', gate')

I'm gonna listen, listen, in-between my worrying

Listen, listen, to the silence of my heart

I'm gonna listen, la la la listen, in-between all of my thinking

Listen, listen

Spending all these hours in my mental towers

A prisoner to my own mind

I was burdened my yesterdays, and everything was such a haze

And to the present moment I was blind

Gotta take a break before I speak

Gotta take a break before I react

Gotta listen to my heart

I'm gonna listen, listen, in-between my paths of seeking

Listen, listen, to the silence of my heart

I'm gonna listen, la la la listen, to the space in-between the words we're speaking

The words we're speaking

Gotta take a break before I speak, before I react

I'm gonna listen to my heart

Gotta take a break before I leap, before I attack

I'm gonna listen to my heart

Gotta take a break before I break down, yeah before I crack

I'm gonna listen to my heart 

Gaté,

gaté,

paragaté,

parasamgaté.

Bodhi!

Svaha!

I'm gonna listen, listen, to the quiet stillness of the inner-ocean

I'm gonna listen, la la listen

I'm gonna listen, listen, letting love guide my heart in devotion

Listen, listen
