Suffering Is The Nature Of Samsara lyrics

I woke up on a mountain i had walked around the world
My family would have been so proud
I never had that kind of courage when i was a girl
Of all the children it was me who always cried out loud.
I cried out loud when a boy in my class
Poisoned my best friend.
He put her body in a box on the grass
I had so much to tell her but i never saw her again.
I'm trying to be true to what i believe in.
I grew up on the east coast of a place they call the west



I had a set of rules to go by
Followed them so faithfully i needed me a rest
So i took up with the guru but i didn't really know why.
Guru said "the pain you're in is nothing but a dream"
I told him "i'm unable to believe."
"well, that's a start," he said and then he ran out of gasoline
But i still think he's got something up his sleeve.
He's trying to be true to what he believes in.
