Quan Yin the Buddhist Goddess of Compassion inspired the first line of this song. She is sometimes seen riding on a dragon. One foot on the dragon one in the ground is a metaphor for walking between life and death, earth and spirit world as I do so many times in silent meditation.
I feel like I’m already dying
On foot on the dragon one in the ground
My mama said girl stop your crying
Stop dwelling on the things that bring you down
Life is a puzzle that you find the pieces
And we are all connected look around
We’re all connected I heard my mama once say
We’re all connected I heard an angel once say
We’re all connected I heard my lonely voice say
We’re all connected we’re all connected
And maybe it’s a rite of passage
A tattoo of a Celtic Knot upon your skin
Every now and then I sit in silence
As my soul reveals the Lotus Flower deep within
The mystery is in the living
So I’ll create a world where I fit in
We’re all connected I heard my mama once say
We’re all connected I heard an angel once say
We’re all connected I heard my lonely voice say
We’re all connected we’re all connected
