 Oh, how  is it that I could come  out to here,
 And be still floatin',
 And never  hit bottom  but keep  falling through,
 Just relaxed  and paying attention?
 All my two-dimensional boundaries  were gone,
 I had lost  to them badly,
 I saw  that world crumble  and thought  I was dead,
 But I found  my senses still working.
 And as  I continued to drop  through the hole,
 I found all  surrounding,
 To show  me that joy innocently  is,
 Just be quiet  and feel it around  you.
 And I opened  my heart  to the whole  universe,
 And I found  it was loving,
 And I saw  the great blunder  my teachers  had made,
Scientific  delirium madness.
 And now  I ll keep falling as long  as I live,
 Ah, without ending,
 And I  will remember  the place  that is now,
 That has ended  before the beginning  ...
 Oh, how  is it that I could come  out to here,
 And be still floatin',
 And never  hit bottom  but keep  falling through,
 Just relaxed  and paying attention?

And [D]as I continued to [G]drop through the [D]hole,
I found [G]all sur[D]rounding,
