As the salmon swim upstream, reddened with decay

To die there in their birthplace, so will I change

As the stream becomes inert and the wildflowers fade

As the forest turns to desert, so will I change

When the devil appeared, I locked him in a box

Sure if it opened, that he would eat me up

Oh, how I feared at what my fate might be

I couldn't see, locked in that box, that love held the key

Strands disentwine, and realign, an egg divides, cells multiply

And so I'm told that I was born of halves, and I then so remained

Halves reunite a single slave

The mind a lorn enclave both hateful and attrite,

the body turned a grave of muddy appetites

If the truth is an open mind, love is an open heart

Love cannot be unkind, love is blind

The mind is a deathcamp apart from love so divine

Love in its own time, love has its own designs

The mingling of two souls in transformation, encoded in this chain

Through all transfiguration, all essence must remain, all is changelessly in change

Come out, the winter's over, come out into the day

Come out, the winter's over, no season ever stays

All is changelessly in change

If the truth is an open mind, love is an open heart

Love cannot be unkind, love is blind

The mind is a deathcamp apart, from the love of an open heart

Love in its own time, love is divine, love has its own designs

Love is changelessly in change

Love is change
