On the Ganges
On the banks of the Ganges
The women are washing
Every day naked wide eyed children play
And the men gather together and pray
On the banks of the Ganges
The weak become strong
The aged are young
In a vast congregation beneath the sun
Where the dead and the dying are one
On the Ganges
Everything has always been this way
On the Ganges
Everything will always be this way, be this way
La la la la la la
Time goes by with invisible motion
Current turns from this river to the ocean
Where the universe unfolds as the Ganges flows
On the Ganges
The cycle ends and is begun
On the Ganges
The cycle ends what you’ve begun
And you’re the one
La la la la la la
(Vocal bridge- “Aahhh”)
On the Ganges
Everything has always been this way
On the Ganges
Everything will always be this way, be this way
La la la la la la
