Reincarnation means we have lived it all. We have been tall and small, weak and powerful, gregarious and shy. But what is the point of this wheel that turns incessantly as we adorn different masks and costumes we call lives, bodies, incarnations?

This song reminds us that each turn of the wheel is but temporary and so connects us to The All, The Everything, that we are truly from and which we return fully back into being. The singular, individual and personal lives that we identify with are not in truth what we are. We are The Everything.

The Everything

Was I too weak?

Was I too meek?

Was I too brash, too loud?

Was I too proud?

All these games that we played

These masks that we wore

Leading to come to that final frontier

Longing to touch what was already there,

Already there

Chorus

And at the end of time

when all is said, all is done,

I am…The Everything, The Everything,

my arms are wide, all-encompassing.

And as we return

from this distant place, this human dream,

we return…as The Everything, The Everything,

the fire inside, all-enveloping.

And I know what I am

And what I’m not

In each face on the street

In each brother I meet
