Take Me To Nirvana


              There will be bliss,
         when I enter the promised land;
      I will go beyond the blue sky abyss,
         and God will take my hand.
  Beyond the gates I will find a heavenly park,
  a nirvana-  and on a path I will embark;
    oh, the song of a meadowlark,
  I wonder will I recall earth and reminisce.

              I pray each day,
        oh, take me to nirvana God;
      I am so weary-  please take me away,
        earth is a facade-  flawed.
  I can see in my mind your heavenly paradise,
  in eternal tranquility there will be a peace nice;
    of grief I have paid the price,
  beyond the firmament I imagine an archway.

              Nirvana divine,
         a life everlasting world;
      where all hues of nature exist and twine,
       and with stardust I am whirled.
  There will be no pain, no worry-  just serene rest,
  when I am in nirvana and Utopia blessed;
    I guess living is just a test,
  so, on this journey I will try my best to shine.
