Forget Your Hexagram
Unlocking Heaven's Path: Larry Norman's Wisdom Revealed
Lyrics
Forget your hexagram you'll soon feel fine
Disregard reliance on occult symbols (hexagram) for well-being; positivity will follow.
Stop looking at the stars
Avoid over-focusing on distant, unreachable goals or aspirations.
You don't live under the signs
Emphasizes living beyond astrological influences or predetermined paths.
Don't mess with gypsies
Warns against involvement with fortune-telling or mysterious practices.
Or have your fortune read
Caution against seeking predictions about the future from unconventional sources.
Keep your table on the floor
Suggests maintaining a grounded perspective; avoid unnecessary complications.
And don't you listen to the dead
Discourages listening to or being influenced by deceased spirits or irrelevant past influences.
You can't hitchhike your way to heaven
Rejects the idea that spiritual salvation can be achieved through aimless wandering or shortcuts.
The devil's closed the roads
Suggests that certain paths to fulfillment may be intentionally blocked or misleading.
You live once and you die once with no
Highlights the singular nature of life and death; rejects the notion of multiple lifetimes.
Re-incarnate episodes
Denies the concept of reincarnation; life is a one-time experience without repeated episodes.
You can't hitchhike to heaven
Reiterates the futility of seeking spiritual elevation through unconventional means.
Or get there but just being good
Emphasizes that goodness alone is insufficient for reaching a spiritual destination.
The rules were set down long ago
Refers to ancient rules, possibly moral or spiritual, established during a significant event (spikes in the wood).
When the spikes went in the wood
Alludes to a crucifixion or pivotal moment when rules for spiritual salvation were established.
Heaven is in your mind
Suggests that the concept of heaven is subjective and exists within one's thoughts.
When love is in your heart
Connects heaven to the presence of love within the heart; inner emotions shape one's perception of spirituality.
Maybe you'll find the way
Encourages the initiation of a journey towards spiritual understanding.
But first you have to start
Emphasizes the importance of taking the first step on the spiritual path.
Forget your hexagram you'll soon feel fine
Repetition of the advice to disregard reliance on occult symbols for well-being.
Stop looking at the stars
Reiteration of the warning against excessive focus on unattainable goals.
You don't live under the signs
Reaffirms living beyond astrological influences or predetermined paths.
Don't mess with gypsies
Repeats the caution against involvement with fortune-telling or mysterious practices.
Or have your fortune read
Restates the warning against seeking predictions about the future from unconventional sources.
