:::: The Essence (The Song of Rumi) ::::

[introducing message]
For ages you have run from the pain -
So come, return to the root of the root
of your own soul.

[first message]
You turned your sight
to the empty show of this world.
Why are you so enchanted by this world -
when a mine of gold lies within you?

[chorus 1]
O soul, leave behind this world of separation
and come with us to the world of union.
Go beyond your tangled thoughts
and find the splendor of Paradise.

[...]

[second message]
If the Sun did not run across the sky
the world would not see
the colors of morning.
If water did not rise from the sea
plants would not be quickened
by rivers or rain.

[main pre-chorus]
O bird, fly back to your native land.
You have broken free from your cage;
Your wings are eager for flight.

[chorus 2]
O soul, leave behind this world of separation
and come with us to the world of union.
Go beyond your tangled thoughts
and find the splendor of Paradise.

[...]

[bridge message]
But you have no need to go anywhere —
journey within yourself.
Journey from self to Self
and find the mine of gold.

[third message]
O heart,
Let go of all your worries about the future.
In this friendless world
come and join us.
Let your heart’s light show you that we are one.

[...]

[The Flight]

[choir]
O bird, fly back to your native land!
You have broken free from your cage;
Your wings are eager for flight.

[chorus 2]
O soul, leave behind this world of separation
and come with us to the world of union.
Go beyond your tangled thoughts
and find the splendor of Paradise.

[encore] [lift-off]

[chorus 1]
O soul, leave behind this world of separation
and come with us to the world of union.
Go beyond your tangled thoughts
and find the splendor of Paradise.

[lift-off and flight hook] 
O bird, fly back to your native land.
You have broken free from your cage;
...
... fly back to your native land!
You have broken free...
O bird, fly back to your native land.
You have broken free from your cage...

[The Calling]
[I]
O soul, leave behind this world of separation
and come with us to the world of union.
Go beyond your tangled thoughts
and find the splendor of Paradise.
[II]
O soul, leave behind this world of separation
and come with us to the world of union.
Go beyond your tangled thoughts
and find the splendor of Paradise.

[solo] [The Flight to the Native Land]

[mantra] [The Arrival]
Oh bird, fly back to your native land!
You have broken free from your cage...
Oh bird, fly back to your native land!

Oh bird, fly back to your native land!
You have broken free from your cage...

O soul, leave behind this world of separation
and come with us to the world of union.
Go beyond your tangled thoughts
and find the splendor of Paradise.

[The End]
