the collection - siddhartha (my light was a ghost) lyrics
i keep losing everything i have
my keys, my phone, my friends, my hat
and every brick i laid each year collapsed
by some unnamed trumpeter marching past
and he asked
what if my light was a ghost?
every breath comes out held by a gasp
with every timbered year tied loose to my soul’s raft
i’m tugging at my oars with waning grasp
[???]
and when i hear the river, it only laughs
and it asks
what if my light was a ghost?
the divine came and cut all my bark away
and i stood naked, awaiting the fire
took my last breath from the sun and the wind and clay
and i was one with the whole earth’s desires
and i lived and died at the same time
what if my light was a ghost?
what if all failures and hopes are on the same river, afloat?
then i think my light is a ghost
