i don't believe

Truth is a mirror we hold to our pain
God is a concept by which measures our pain

I don’t believe in fortune
I don’t believe in fate
I don’t believe in scriptures
I don’t believe in saints
I don’t believe in idols
I don’t believe in kings
I don’t believe in prophets
I don’t believe in things

I don’t believe in heroes
I don’t believe in thrones
I don’t believe in nations
I don’t believe in stones
I don’t believe in symbols
I don’t believe in fame
I don’t believe in saviors
I don’t believe in names

I just believe in being
In the self I see
That’s the only ground
That feels real to me

The dream is over
What can I say?
The dream is over
It’s gone away

I was a seeker
But now I stand
I was a dreamer
Now I understand

So, my friends,
You’ll have to carry on—
The dream is over,
But the truth goes on.
