Don't want to judge or work
or sleep or dream or shine
like a star, except my heart

Enlightenment is everyday life,
Enlightenment moves, heals, takes a stand.
Enlightenment is the lion in the mirror.

let the "Giftie gie us" a bottle of Scotch

stay out from underneath the imps
their pixie dust will give you kinks
you only wish they'll bring you luck
when fortune knocks -- duck!
