Shangri La
Quest for Shangri-La: A Musical Odyssey of Search and Revelation
Lyrics
Six hundred days I have been searching for the gates of Shangri-La
Six hundred days of relentless searching for the gates of Shangri-La.
Six hundred nights I've dreamt in darkness of the photographs I saw
Six hundred nights spent dreaming in darkness about photographs seen.
And when I laid my eyes upon it, well the truth was on the wall
Upon seeing it, the truth becomes evident; perhaps a realization or revelation.
For some there is no refuge in the land of Shangri-La
For some individuals, there is no safety or solace in the realm of Shangri-La.
Oh, tell me if it can be done. I guess it's not for everyone
Expressing doubt about the achievability of a task, suggesting it's not universally possible.
Shangri-La's for everyone. Everyone comes in with money, money, money
Contradicting the previous doubt, asserting that Shangri-La is for everyone, but entry often requires wealth.
I knew a man who once told me a funny thing about the bomb
Anecdote about a man sharing a lighthearted perspective on dealing with life's challenges, possibly related to a bomb metaphorically.
He said, son, don't you worry, cause the worries won't last long
Reassurance that worries are temporary and will not endure.
Now down here it's best, he'll tell you, just to stare up at the sun
Suggesting a simplistic approach to life, advising to look upwards, perhaps symbolizing optimism.
In Shangri-La they got the weapons that'll make the kingdom come
In Shangri-La, powerful weapons are present that can bring about significant change or upheaval.
Oh, tell me if it can be done. I guess it's not for everyone
Reiteration of doubt about the feasibility of a task.
Shangri-La's for everyone. Everyone comes in with money, money, money
Restating that Shangri-La is for everyone, but emphasizing the role of money in gaining entry.
Oh, tell me if it can be done. I guess it's not for everyone
Repeating doubt about the possibility of a task.
Shangri-La is here for everyone. Everyone comes in with everyone
Affirming that Shangri-La is accessible to everyone, and entry is a communal experience.
Oh, tell me if it can be done. Shangri-La's for everyone
Again questioning the feasibility of a task.
Oh, I guess it's not for everyone. Everyone comes in with money, money, money
Repeating the idea that Shangri-La is not for everyone, emphasizing the association with money.
