            The Guru         - Short version
            ========


 Who am I?, What is me?
 If I ever needed a guide -
 An inspiration to uplift my mind,
 May the time be now...

 "G.U.R.U
 If words could convey the essence of life
 May these be they.
 Gee, you ARE you - you are your own guru,
 And that is all you must understand.

 In this place of wonderous colour, shape and sound,
 In beauty and in love, great inspiration can be found.
 You cannot see beyond death,
 You cannot see before birth,
 The space in-between is called time,
 And each mement is precious.

 So although there is darkness on both sides,
 There is brightness in this time alive.
 There are no limits to what you can do -
 The roads on which you can travel.
 And you have all the time you need,
 In the awareness of the present.

 What can you do now you realise the truth?
 Relax! and be yourself -
 There is no time to be anything else.
 Get on the stand - and stand tall.
 Be proud of yourself - for this is the olny life you know.

 Gee, you ARE you - realise the thrill!
 There is time to be, and see, and go.
 But what of the time when eyes finally close,
 And this body of yours is yours no longer.
 What is the point of it all?
 The point is right NOW!
 You know?"
