[Verse 1] We named the stars and drew our lines, Said “this is mine” and “that is yours,” Forgot the breath that moves between The dancer and the dance, the doors. You search for truth like it’s a thing That waits outside your skin, But all the while it’s listening To you pretending not to hear within. [Chorus] You are the wave and you are the sea, The dream and the one who sleeps, The mask that says “this isn’t me,” And the silence underneath. Let go of trying to arrive— There’s nowhere else to be. The universe is playing you, And you are playing me. [Verse 2] You chase tomorrow, drag the past, As if the now could slip away, But time is just a game we play To make the present seem to stay. Like music heard one note at once, Life only moves by letting go, The meaning isn’t in the end— It’s in the sounding as you go. [Chorus] You are the wave and you are the sea, The spark, the fire, the flame, The question asking endlessly, And the answer just the same. Stop asking who you’re meant to be, Or why you came to see— The universe is hiding out As you and me. [Verse 3] So laugh at fear, it’s just a thought That learned to say your name, No separate self was ever born To win or lose the game. When seeking falls away at last, What’s left is clear and free: The watcher, watched, and watching Were always one reality. [Chorus] You are the wave and you are the sea, The path without a start, The cosmos looking back at itself Through your wondering heart. No need to grasp, no need to strive, No truth you have to flee— The universe awakening Is simply being you… and me.
