🎵 The Living Mandala [Verse 1] In the center there’s a turning Something dark becoming light Nothing broken, nothing wasted Everything is learning how to rise All the sorrow, all the trouble All the things we try to hide Fall back into waiting earth And learn how to become alive [Chorus] I am the universe And the universe is me What is moving there in the world Is moving here in me We turn the sorrow into soil We turn the wound into seed I am the universe And the universe is me [Verse 2] There’s a tree in the middle growing There’s a nest of something new There’s a love that stays and watches Till it knows what it should do Hands keep coming, old and young ones From another time and place Holding up this whole wide world Like it’s held together by grace [Chorus] I am the universe And the universe is me What is moving there in the world Is moving here in me We turn the sorrow into soil We turn the wound into seed I am the universe And the universe is me [Bridge] Sun and moon keep their slow dancing Dark and light learn how to stay Everything is finding balance In its own time, in its own way [Final Chorus] I am the universe And the universe is me What is moving there in the world Is moving here in me We turn the sorrow into soil We turn the wound into seed I am the universe And the universe is me [Outro] Nothing’s lost, it’s all becoming This is how the world learns how to breathe
