All of my life I felt that you were listening
Watching for ways to help me stay in tune
Lord of my dreams, although confusion
Keeps trying to decieve
What is it that makes me believe in you?

Babaji, oh won’t you come to me
Won’t you help me face the music
Bring it out so we can sing it out
Help me to find it before we lose it
At night when the stars are near
And there’s no one to keep you from coming here
And there’s no one to shield me before your eyes
Is it mine, is it mine, is it mine to know?

I can see it’s not too good to me
To be afloat in the sea of glory
Babaji, oh how you comfort me
By showing me it’s a different story
Your light in the dark is real
And I know that you know it is how I feel
When I see the reflections that’s in your eyes
Is it mine, is it mine, is it mine to know?

Babaji, have you a song for me
To tell the world of its guardian angel
Bring it out so we can sing it out
Oh must you always remain a stranger?
At night when the stars are near
And I long for delusion to disappear
The I see the reflection that’s in your eyes
Is it time, is it time, is it time to know?
