[Verse 1]
All these thoughts now
Arising in my mind
They pass like clouds
Through a clear blue sky
All these feelings
That come from every side
They pass like clouds
Through a clear blue sky
And all these visions
That pass before my eyes
Just like clouds
Through a clear blue sky
All these visions
They pass before my eyes
Just like clouds
Through a clear blue sky
[Chorus]
And the calm of a clear blue sky
Is where I'm going when I die
There's nowhere else to go
That's all there is
And the calm of a clear blue sky
Is where I'm going when I die
There's nothing else to know
That's all there is
[Verse 2]
And all these fears
Are passing through my mind
Just like clouds
Through a clear blue sky
All the years
Are passing through my mind
Just like clouds
Through a clear blue sky
This world of illusion
Passes through my mind
Just like clouds
Through a clear blue sky
So many energies
Of every different kind
But they pass like clouds
Through a clear blue sky
[Chorus]
And the calm of a clear blue sky
Is where I'm going when I die
There's nowhere else to go
That's all there is
And the calm of a clear blue sky
Is where I'm going when I die
There's nothing else to know
That's all there is
[Outro]
That's all there is
That's all there is
That's all there ever was
And that's all there is
That's all there is
That's all there is
That's all there ever was
And that's all there is
