Serve

CHORUS
Lift the low and heal the sick SERVE
Transmute selfishness SERVE
Sacrifice your inner bliss SERVE
Discover greater happiness

VERSE -  A F#m D E
You could be living in paradise
But you took your own bad advice
This is the price
Now serve your way out of this

Giving all, asking nothing back
Others fall you take up the slack
With love and an open heart you
learn and slowly start to

CHORUS -  A F#m D E

ORIGINAL:

VERSE -  A F#m D E (spoken)
We could be living in paradise
Without war, hate, or money
Instead we made a prison
Outta materialism

But the way to freedom is simple
It's selfless service to others
Serve everyone you meet
In every way you can think of

But without love - service is work
So love everyone you meet
And live with joy in your heart
And climb out of the pit of ignorance

BRIDGE
F#m
Act now to build a new world
A
By putting love in action
D                                 E
Go on your way and joy in your heart SERVE

CHORUS -  A F#m D E
The ultimate act is to SERVE
The heart of religion is to SERVE
The most glorious yoga to SERVE
To practice love you need to SERVE

So set aside your vanity SERVE
Devote yourself to humanity SERVE
With every muscle and sinew SERVE
Let the Kundalini rise within you

VERSE (spoken)
No more monasteries
No meditating in the wilderness
No retreats into serenity
Wake up to your destiny

And in a world of suffering
Even idleness is criminal
Entertainment must be minimal
Time is of the essence 

BRIDGE
Cos we have been ordered
To turn from our own feelings 
And search no more, simply SERVE

CHORUS
Forget your own petty worries SERVE
Transmute selfishness SERVE
Sacrifice your own bliss SERVE
Discover greater happiness SERVE

Lift the low and heal the sick SERVE
Change the world and all that's in it SERVE
Even serve your enemy SERVE
For better health and energy SERVE

In will pour the inspiration SERVE
Service is the culmination SERVE
Come out of suffering SERVE
Receive truth and everything SERVE

BRIDGE
It doesn't matter whether you want to
It doesn't matter if you believe
If you don't today
You will tomorrow
Accept it - and serve


It doesn't matter if you believe it
It doesn't matter if you want it
If you don't today
You will tomorrow
Accept it - and serve
