07:52If you come back again
07:56And you can't find a friend
07:59You must have a debt to pay
08:06And if you find that you are lame
08:10And cannot stand the pain
08:13You must have a debt to pay
08:19For whatsoever a man sows
08:24He will also reap
08:28And he that killeth with the sword
08:33Must be killed also
08:37For everything you do or say
08:41Is surely put away
08:44In the memory of the universe
08:51A lot of karma makes you pay
08:55To help you find your way
08:58A lesson that we all must learn

10:06A lot of karma makes you pay
10:10To help you find your way
10:13A lesson that we all must learn
10:20For through the sadness fills our day
10:25That we've made it that way
10:28We all have a debt to pay
10:33We all have a debt to pay
10:39We all have a debt to pay
10:45We all have a debt to pay
11:08latent and exhibited in the present life
11:11Also the former appearances on the earth plane
11:15giving time, place, and the name
11:18and that in each life which built
11:21or retarded the entity's development
11:33Now I lay me down to sleep
11:37I put my mind in trance so deep
11:40And I won't come out until I've found
11:44What it's all about
11:49Everything is going round
11:52A shaft of light is coming down
11:55To pull me up and lead me where it can be found
12:08That's life
12:13It's life
12:16And it's eternal
12:38And it's eternal
12:55That's life
12:59It's life
13:01And it's eternal
13:05Countless ages of the soul
13:08Information I behold
13:11To tell me what I've done and who I was before
13:20Once a priest in Egypt land
13:23A Persian leader, physician
13:26A British soldier, John Bainbridge
13:30Now here I am
13:35I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm
13:39I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm
13:43I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm
13:46I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm
13:50I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm

14:32I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm
14:36I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm
15:02I am a child of the universe
15:08I have a right to do the best
15:14I can't believe sages fail
15:20I ask a friend who is aware
15:25Can I rectify the will of a decade's clay?
15:37To the cosmos, to you
15:43A billion astrologists everywhere
15:49Suddenly science flies through the air
15:55I take a leap up on her way
16:01People just believe in stillness
16:06Now it seems I've become the sun
16:12I am a castle man, what are you?
16:18To the cosmos, to you
16:22To the cosmos, to you
16:52To the cosmos, to you
17:08To the cosmos, to you
17:14A message in the stars to all mankind
17:19God, we may conciliate, don't be blind
17:25Face yourself for a strange attraction
17:31Look to the stars for satisfaction
17:37Can it conceal the brainless jargon?
17:42Will us to believe how far we'll go?
17:49A tool in the profiles brings me home
17:54To you
17:59To the cosmos, to you
18:05To you
18:18To the cosmos, to you
18:49To the cosmos, to you
18:55To the cosmos, to you
19:06To the cosmos, to you
22:18Every day, I know your secret
22:26Every day, you call my name
22:31Every day, oh
22:36Every day, you call my name
22:41Every day, oh
22:46Every day
22:56My family's just beginning
23:00And as the numbers grow
23:04People start forgetting
23:06Why they're gone and what to do
23:12A life of light and fruit
23:17Was the purpose of it all
23:21But now that reason fails them
23:24The garden walls must fall, oh no
23:34The sounds of the darkness
23:37Begin to play their role
23:40And the garden is grown over
23:43With black scale and evil soul
23:50Another flood wakes them
23:53To wash away their sins
23:56For descendants of the devil
24:00Have had their way again, oh no
24:07Oh no
24:10Oh no
24:13Oh no
24:16Oh no
24:19Oh no

24:48Last night a spirit came to me
24:51I'd waited for so long
24:54He wrote my child I've come to you
24:57And I can say no wrong
25:07guitar solo
25:12I closed my eyes and waited

27:49Hey, hey, buddy, listen to me No matter who you're coming out to be
28:16No matter what you are or what you may be It's gonna cover everyone you see
28:23She's fallin' off
28:32Hey, hey, look beyond her, I know The land is slowing and she's ready to go
28:39The hills are fallin', sinkin' into the ground You know the land's really on the last round
28:46She's fallin' off, fallin' into the sea She's fallin' off, fallin' down, fallin' into the sea
29:09Hey, hey, buddy, listen to me No matter who you're coming out to be
29:30No matter what you are or what you may be It's gonna cover everyone you see
29:38She's fallin' off
29:47Hey, hey, look beyond her, I know The land is slowing and she's ready to go

30:33If my people will turn back to me, I will heal their land
30:38Sweet morning coming all around
30:48Sweet morning coming all around
30:56Sweet morning coming all around
31:08The night has gone and I'm still found
31:14My head is still remembering
31:20The sound that came with fiery flame
31:25I had no fear with thee, I am an entity
31:31I've waited lives to see
31:38Sweet morning
31:50I've suffered, oh, so many ways
31:56I've longed for peace so many days
32:02And patience is the sweetest gift
32:08But now my chains have all been lifted
32:15I have so much to learn, I have struggled hard to learn
32:21This was my final turn
32:27Sweet morning
32:45Sweet morning
32:58Sweet morning
33:15Sweet morning coming all around
33:22My soul is settled, I am bound
33:28To live without all tears and pain
33:34The light of truth has called my name
33:41There is no sorrow now, only contentment now
33:47I've learned the secret now
33:54Sweet morning
34:11Ah, ah, ah, sweet morning
34:25Ah, ah, ah, sweet morning
34:37As thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee
34:40Thy reward shall return unto thine own head
34:44The soul cannot possibly embark on its next life on earth
34:48Without first returning next to the Lord
34:51And what is the reward of the soul once it defeats its first sacrifice
34:54And returns like the prodigal son to the father
34:57Or rejected what it chose to mourn how it suffered still
35:00Him that overcometh shall make a pillar in the temple of the Lord
35:05Ah, ah, ah, sweet morning
35:13Ah, ah, ah, sweet morning
