The real work you have to do Is in the privacy of your own heart All of the external forms are lovely But the real work Is your inner connection ♪ Everything in you that you don't need You can let go of You don't need loneliness For you couldn't possibly be alone You don't need greed Because you already have it all You don't need doubt Because you already know The confusion is saying "I don't know" But the minute you are quiet You find out that in truth you do know For in you, you know ♪ As if in each of us There once was a fire And for some of us There seem as if there are only ashes now But when we dig in the ashes We find one ember And very gently we fan that ember Blow on it, it gets brighter And from that ember we rebuild the fire Only thing that's important is that ember That's what you and I are here to celebrate That though we've lived our life totally involved in the world We know We know that we're of the spirit ♪ ♪ Sit around the fire, Ram Dass ♪
