Presence
Embracing Presence: A Spiritual Journey in Liam Rogers' Lyrics
Lyrics
Wretched, wretched, wretched raised me
Expressing a sense of suffering or misery in upbringing; acknowledging a difficult past.
Least I got some higher ground
Finding solace or advantage in having a higher perspective or moral ground.
Pathway, pathway, pathway paves me
Life's journey is being laid out or directed, creating a path to follow.
Paces and traces whereabouts
Moving forward, leaving traces and marks to identify one's whereabouts.
Divine, divine, divine bathe me
Seeking a divine or spiritual cleansing experience to rid oneself of restlessness.
Wash me of all restlessness
Requesting to be cleansed of all inner turmoil and unease.
Strip me bare of decoration
Desiring to be stripped of external adornments or superficial elements.
The formless witness shines within
Acknowledging an inner witness without a specific form; recognizing inner spiritual light.
I am, I am, I am, I am
Affirming one's existence; repetition emphasizes a strong sense of being.
Here and now as presence is
Being present in the current moment; acknowledging the essence of existence.
Under veil all I am is you
Recognizing a connection with a higher power or another person.
Through you I live all I can
Finding purpose and vitality through the influence of someone else.
Guru, Guru, Guru Deva
Referring to a spiritual teacher or guide, emphasizing the need to overcome false perceptions of separateness.
Tame us of false separateness
Requesting guidance in overcoming the illusion of being separate from others.
Mantra, mantra, mantra frame us
Using a repeated phrase or sound to bring focus and stillness in challenging situations.
For stillness in the howling wind
Seeking tranquility amid difficulties, symbolized by the howling wind.
Love, oh, love, oh, love embrace us
Asking for love to surround and envelop, emphasizing its absolute greatness.
In absolute magnificance
Describing the vast and profound nature of love.
The sovereign greets us, arms extending
Imagery of a sovereign figure extending arms, representing a welcoming and inclusive presence.
We bow to see we are the limbs
Recognizing unity with the greater whole; understanding interconnectedness.
I am, I am, I am, I am
Reaffirming existence in the present moment; a continuation of self-affirmation.
Here and now as presence is
Being present in the now, emphasizing the essence of existence.
Under veil all I am is you
Acknowledging the connection with others or a higher power.
For you I live all I can
Finding purpose and vitality through the influence of someone or something else.
I am not the body
Denying identification solely with the physical body.
I am not even the mind
Rejecting exclusive identification with the mind; emphasizing a broader sense of self.
I am not the thoughts that float by me
Disassociating from passing thoughts, recognizing a deeper sense of identity.
I am the I am
A declaration of self-existence, akin to the philosophical concept of "I am that I am."
