about

By the Ganges River
An inspiring encounter with an Indian baba (spiritual wise old man) during a moment of loneliness, arriving in the overwhelming city, Varanasi.

lyrics

4. BY THE GANGES RIVER 4:01
by the ganges river i sit and cry / all the pain of the world i see through my eyes/ all the suffering of the children / and the women and the men / who were born to be free just like me.
by the ganges river i sit and cry / for my good fortune i wonder why? / i have everything i need / and yet i complain / am i free i ask you / am i free / am i free?
singing / hay, what a crazy world we’re living in? / woah what a crazy world we’re living in? / by the ganges river i sit and sing / what a crazy world we’re living in?
by the ganges river i sit and cry / baba came over and sat by my side / without asking me why / he looked in my eyes / and he cried / cried with me / yes he cried /
singing / hay what a crazy world we’re living in? / woah what a crazy world we’re living in? / history repeating / we don’t learn a thing / what a crazy world we’re living in?
he turned to speak / i swallowed my tears / salty words i could never hear /
listening with my heart i could understand / a foreign tongue in an ancient land
