In The Original

The first word is thought,

But not the last.

Involuntary movements,

Involuntary thoughts,

Are all caused by the mind.

You may not want it,

But your mind does.

Your mind wants you to wake in the night

With a sudden jolt.

Your mind wants you to have to fight a thought

Out of your mind.

Or are you out of your mind?

Are you flying where your mind isn't?

Or are you in fear of death, in fear of wrath.

Your mind and your body are two different things.

And your mind is in control.
