Remember to Remember

about

This is a song inspired by my time with a teacher and Sufi group in NC. A time of learning :)

lyrics

Dervish
by Jim Beckwith ©2010

Riding a fine line again...
Wondering, not if, but when -
stars will be shooting,
Thieves will be looting
the ghost town that held my fine friends

-Trying too hard to succeed
Blind to the people in need
to the ones that you love,
you give not enough
and the demons still beg to be freed

-Remember to remember
All the things we see aren't real
Dream until you surrender
We make the world by what we feel.

Singing, drumming, chanting, turning,
the dervish goes to God in whirling
from the heart they float about
turning in, then inside out.

-Don't live your life as an island
missing all of the fun.
wish for a heart that is broken
open to everyone

Step outside the circle
Look into the mirrors
Join hands with the rest of the world
and let go all our fears

Singing, drumming, chanting, turning,
the dervish goes to God in whirling
from the heart they float about
turning in, then inside out.
from the heart they float about
turning in, then inside out.
