Lyrics

DRINK IN THIS SONG
Lines 1 and 8 from HAFIZ ~ Sufi Mystic
Translation by Daniel Ladinsky
from ‘The Gift’
Music and other words by Georgia Carr


I know how we can get when
we haven’t had a drink of love
Our thoughts become quite harsh,
Our hearts so very parched
the thirst lingers on
So drink in this song now
’cause this present moment
Is the only moment
that we can choose to love
To clear our hearts and say: I’m sorry. Forgive me.
Return again and again,
to your beautiful heart
Take it out into the vast fields of light
and let it breathe, let it breathe

This present moment is the only moment that we can choose to love.
So remember to remember
That without our hearts the light goes out, we can hardly find our way
Be kind and gentle with your heart,
say very tenderly
Dear heart keep guiding me.
I treasure you

There’s a place in our hearts,
and it leads to the light,
the Light of Love
