Never born, never died. Just a sudden flash of lightning against the night

A song for Osho from Sri Lanka.

Lyrics, Music and Vocals by Channa Kasturisinghe

You called yourself the ocean – Perhaps awed by its vastness
Its depth and its mystery – Like no one has ever been
A wave of that ocean – Wiped my footprints on the sand
And showed me a new path – That no one has ever taken
No direction, no destination, just a sudden splash of water on my cold feet

You said love is but a flower – That blossoms in the morning
And withers in the evening – But its fragrance will remain
You said life is the miracle – And there’s nothing more divine
And heaven is just a promise – The Maker has failed to keep
Seek within and travel without the baggage that is forced on your shoulders

You dared to choose the wilderness – To build your Kingdom of contradiction
To be crowned in controversy – In the land of milk and honey
Every word you have spoken – May vanish into thin air
Like that rainbow in the sky – As colorful as your life
Never born, never died. Just a sudden flash of lightning against the night
