Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My voices tell me
Be still, have faith
Stay clear of the rat race
It's alright
I'm simple like the flowers
And just love
Worry not about tomorrow
Be simple like the flower
[Verse 2]
Come smoke my herb
Make your heart like the ocean
Mind like a clear blue sky
Come smoke my herb
Make your heart like the ocean
Mind like a clear blue sky
Come smoke my herb
[Verse 3]
Do you believe
Creation desires your devotion
Through murder and death
We squabble over
Pieces of the earth
The true beasts are
Those who believe in creation
Without mother, womb, or birth
Be simple like the flowers
[Verse 4]
Come smoke my herb
Make your heart like the ocean
Mind like a clear blue sky
Come smoke my herb
Make your heart like the ocean
Mind like a clear blue sky
Come smoke my herb
[Verse 5]
(Clear blue sky)
(Clear blue sky)
(Clear blue sky) Come smoke my herb
Make your heart like the ocean (Clear blue sky)
Mind like a clear blue sky
(Clear blue sky) Your mind like a clear blue sky
