please would you tell me my friend 
which direction is the way 
because i'm lost, i'm confused 
the reality we choose 
is a long, long way from the dream 
 
all you'll feel is pain and suffering 
wading through samsara 
 
yes but i've heard that before 
from those teachers of dreams 
but it's old and it's cold 
i just can't feel it in my soul 
am i damned to a life of extremes 
 
all you'll feel is pain and suffering 
wading through samsara 
 
but i've looked to the east 
and i've prayed in the west 
what i knw, i've seen 
you just couldn't imagine 
where i've been 
and i feel at this time 
i just need to rest 
and i'd like us to stay here 
i would love us to stay here 
would you let me stay here, please...
