I AM YOUR MIND PART II
ROY AYERS
You’ll know the real you
It’s coming from within
Sincerely, sincerely
You subject yourself to being vulnerable
Not knowing why you fall in love
And so you become
What you are made to become
It’s not at all fair that I feel as I do
Tell me something to make me feel better
My sister, I am your mind. Within you there’s a never-
ending magnitude of infinite strength, wisdom and will.
You travel my roads through life never knowing your own
true reality because my thoughts remain like distant
quasars. You abuse me by never letting me say and do as
I feel. Our thoughts split from love affairs to choice
of friends. We argue like two enemies yet we are good
friends.
Now, there are moments when we harmonize with each
other, and become one with nature and reality. But
these times are few. When after you have replenished
yourself, the fear of the truth sets in. We split, and
you start to run again. Running, running, running.
Running through women, men, jobs, people and life
looking for the answer when I had it all along. But I
smile… because I am your mind.
I was your mind yesterday; I am your mind today; and
I’ll be your mind tomorrow. And as our end draws near
we will become closer. But you and I, you and I, we
will never be one, for I will part from you and you
will part from me; you finding another mind and I
another soul. And we’ll travel on and on.
By the way, I need more than sex to nourish my
equilibrium. But I do need sex. I also need sun, trees,
stars, creativity and love. But you saturate my soul
with too much of one and not enough of the other.
Therefore I cry. But why do we cry? Because tears
cleanse the windows of our minds. I am your mind.
Tell me something to make me feel better
All your thoughts inside your mind wanting to be free
Well, now you’ve got the chance to let your mind grow…
and be free. Because the music is just trying to say
things to free your mind. And if you let your mind be
free, then you can understand mine. There’s no need to
be afraid of me. I want to be your friend. I’m just
trying to give you music from deep, deep, deep within.
And on and on, and on and on
Tell me something to make me feel better
All of your dreams can become reality. My dial reaches
full, but you’ve only been turning me halfway. Turn me
up, and alpha and theta waves will spew from your
pores. Knowledge, peace, happiness and prosperity will
be placed at your feet. Let’s, let’s create. Solve.
Love. Accomplish. And unify. As-Salaam-Alaikum.
