When I am still I recall
With my heart still

Simran
Ah so we meditate before we do simran
And then we just let go simran
Ah so we’re terrible like when we do simran
So we go recollect like when we do simran
Ah then we just let go simran
Ah so we ruminate and then we do simran

Til I remember
I repeat Jah name
I do my best to remember
My way
I exercise my mind
and Merge with the Divine
I recall a distant truth
And then I repair what is mine
Strengthening my mind
Over time Over time

Simran
Ah so we meditate before we do simran
And then we just let go simran
Ah so we’re terrible like when we do simran
So we go recollect like when we do simran
Ah then we just let go
Let go
Simran

In my great initiation
I repeated words of truth
Burned false perceptions
Set aside time for the truth
To know the refined from the crude
To know the natural from the lewd
To know the pleasant from the rude
Principles that elude yeah
To experience and not be deluded
To know the right frequency and amplitude
And realize the altitude
Going deeper now
Words don’t have to use

Simran
Ah so we meditate before we do simran
And then we just let go
Simran
Ah so we’re terrible like when we do simran
So we go recollect like when we do simran
Ah then we just let go
Let go
Simran

Sometimes I just can’t focus, no
It’s not right time
Then everything slows down
And I feel alive
Deep breaths alone
Purify my heart and mind
Only Truth presides
I banish all the lies

Simran
Ah so we meditate before we do simran
And then we just let go
Let go
Simran
