Suffering Is The Nature Of Samsara Lyrics by Roches

I woke up on a mountain I had walked around the world
My family would have been so proud
I never had that kind of courage when I was a girl
Of all the children it was me who always cried out loud.
I cried out loud when a boy in my class
Poisoned my best friend.
He put her body in a box on the grass
I had so much to tell her but I never saw her again.
Im trying to be true to what I believe in.
I grew up on the east coast of a place they call the west
I had a set of rules to go by
Followed them so faithfully I needed me a rest
So I took up with the guru but I didnt really know why.
Guru said the pain youre in is nothing but a dream
I told him Im unable to believe.
Well, thats a start, he said and then he ran out of gasoline
But I still think hes got something up his sleeve.
Hes trying to be true to what he believes in.
