By the time the box had opened
I had seen it all, I'd seen it all
And by the time your mother had spoken
I had heard it all, I'd heard it all
It was life a wave of blood and hair and mud
Oh what I sight
I couldn't see or touch or feel that much
But it's still alright
Om mani padme hum
om vajrapani hum
Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha
As Ganesha rose their arms up
I had felt it all, I'd felt it all
As the lotus started to blossom
I would stand up tall, I'd stand up tall
It was like a storm a choir the dawn on fire
Like nothing before
I felt the tide the sand inside my hand
No space for more
and sing
Om mani padme hum
om vajrapani hum
Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha
