Wander alone, for once
Wander about,
on this earth
you don't quite understand
Take a nap on the sea,
for once
feel the cold water
being warmed by the sun
Sleep by the banyan tree,
for once
watch as the snake slither
under your feet
By then you'll hear whispers;
someone else inside you
Yourself, but not you,
saying things you dare not speak
Of pronanities, maybe
or of sorrow
your deepest wish, perhaps
of not waking up the next morning
So wander alone, for once

Wander alone, for once
Wander about,
on this earth
you don't quite understand
Take a nap on the sea,
for once
feel the cold water
being warmed by the sun
Sleep by the banyan tree,
for once
watch as the snake slither
under your feet
By then you'll hear whispers;
someone else inside you
Yourself, but not you,
saying things you dare not speak
Of pronanities, maybe
or of sorrow
your deepest wish, perhaps
of not waking up the next morning
So wander alone, for once
