The World Passes By
Dreams and Solitude: The World Unveiled by Bob Slaughter
Lyrics
Deep within a state
Expressing a profound internal condition or emotion
Beyond the known
Transcending the familiar or recognized
Asleep or awake
Whether in a state of sleep or wakefulness
Out here all alone
Isolated and without companionship
As the world passes by
Observing the continuous flow of life around
For I'm living in a dream
Living in a state of imagination or unreality
The way it must be
Conforming to a necessary or expected condition
I'm trying to make it real
Striving to bring imagination into reality
Searching for a scheme
Seeking a plan or strategy
And the world passes by
Observing life passing by, inducing emotional response
It makes me want to cry
Eliciting a desire to weep
But once in awhile
Occasionally, a person with a positive presence appears
Someone appears
Someone emerges from the passing world
With a loving smile
With an affectionate and warm expression
And a heart full of cheer
And a heart full of happiness
And the world passes by
Life continues to pass by, but indifference prevails
And I don't even care
The passing world is disregarded
And our souls take flight
Souls experience liberation and ascendancy
Soaring in the sky
Soaring and gliding through the sky
Swimming in the light
Immersed in brilliance and enlightenment
And feeling so high
Feeling elevated and euphoric
Then I'm back in my state
Returning to the initial internal state
All on my own
Once again, in solitary existence
Could this be my fate
Contemplating if this is predetermined destiny
Out here all alone
Isolated and without companionship, as before
And the world passes by
Observing life's continuous progression with acceptance
And that's all right with me
Finding contentment in the world's passage
As the world just passes by
Acceptance of the world's continuous flow
It's all so plain to see
The clarity of this perspective is evident
