Lyrics

Walking through a grove I approached a man sitting in the grass He smiled at me as he stood to speak He said I'll use my finger to point at myself And then instead of pointing at his body he pointed at me And then he pointed at the river and he pointed at the trees And he said The universe is in you And you're in the universe The universe is in you And you're in the universe He said Imagine all that is left of your body is a white skeleton lying on the face of the earth See the bones of your skull, your ribs, your hips, your legs, your arms, your fingers Retain a half smile, that skeleton is not you Your body is not you The body, the body, the body And he said The universe is in you And you're in the universe You're present in every moment Every moment is in you He said Smile and breathe as you concentrate on the point of your life's beginning Know that it is also the point of beginning of your death See that both your life and death exist together Their existence depends on each other The two are not enemies, but aspects of the same reality And he said The universe is in you And you're in the universe If you don't embrace your death, you'll hardly know how to live
