Lyrics Beastie Boys

Beastie Boys

Namasté

A butterfly floats on the breeze of a sun lit day

As I feel this reality gently fade away

Riding on a thought to see where it's from

Gliding through a memory of a time yet to come

Smoke paints the air Swirling images through my mind

Like a whirlpool spin beginning to unwind

And I stand at the edge cautiously awaiting

As time slips by

Carefully navigating by the stars in the sky

And I sit And I think to myself

And on the horizon the sun light begins to climb

And it seems like it's been so long since he shined

But I'm sure it was only yesterday

Namaste

A cold chill of fear cut through me

I felt my heart contract

To my mind I brought the image of light

And I expanded out of it

My fear was just a shadow

And then a voice spoke in my head

And she said dark is not the opposite of light

It's the absence of light

And I thought to myself

She knows what she's talking about

And for a moment I know

What it was all about.
