David M. Bradshaw - On The Brink of Everything Great

We are born into this world from mystery
And, when life's done we return to mystery
The meaning of life no one can be sure
But I can and do control my intention to serve

To free my adventurous true soul
I must flee my old self-seeking ego
I'm aging now as my time slips away
Moving beyond my lying childish days

How shall I then live, my dearest friends
How shall I then die, when it finally ends
As my small life on earth now grows old
May the dross graciously turn to gold

Now it's time to jettison my mental junk
Long-held views I must rid from my trunk
I'm called to embrace both darkness and light
To co-create a unified heart, that's right

My big chance to connect both battery poles
Come let's re-connect, both young and old
I'm investing my life now, becoming a mentor
Sharing lessons-learned, seeking what's in store
Yeah there's more

How shall I then live, my dearest friends
How shall I then die, when it finally ends
As my small life on earth now grows old
May the dross graciously turn to gold

I embrace suffering and joy, a holy couple
God teach my heart how to remain supple
A spiritual trip to new reality from illusion
Means embracing diversity and full inclusion

The great quest in life to find our true self
Is found loving God and neighbor as our self
We now join our inner journey toward soul
With outward action - to rejoin soul and role

How shall I then live, my dearest friends
How shall I then die, when it finally ends
As my small life on earth now grows old
May the dross graciously turn to gold

The key is moving toward that which I fear
Not away from it, as if it's something queer
Matter and spirit have been forever joined
Intertwined - two sides of the same coin
