I wanna go to Shambhala
I wanna wash away my pain
I need the healing Waters
To cleanse me from this shame
Sister got the eyes with flowers
a shambhala state of mind
Won't you show me, brother?
where everyone is so kind?
I gotta climb the Himalaya
but I can't go it on my own
I need a someone with me
so's I'm not so awful alone
you say people are helpful
and there's always room for more
i need to find the entrance
and open the hope door
but the flowers they have blinded
Will you guide me, friend?
I gotta find that peace
To make this grieving end
My little light is shining
she's burning oh so bright
If you'll go along with me
We can end the endless night
