Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind
Possessing and caressing me
Jai guru deva om

Nothing's gonna change my world, Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world, Nothing's gonna change my world

Images of broken light which dances before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Jai guru deva om

Nothing's gonna change my world, Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world, Nothing's gonna change my world

Sounds of laughter shades of earth are
Ringing through my open ears inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a
Million suns, and calls me on and on
Across the universe
Jai guru deva om

Nothing's gonna change my world, Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world, Nothing's gonna change my world

Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva
