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
