Music by Aura Bakker. Sung by Aura Bakker. Poem by Adi Da Samraj, from the book, Crazy Da Must Sing:
The world is endlessly allowed to be until I die.
I Am the Heart's Shout.
The worlds are endlessly involved with me while I appear, in forms that know them.
But when I die and disappear from worlds where I have lived, there is no absence.
My life has never made a world for me.
I Am the Heart that Shouts them.
