Lyrics

Get ready for the white light
The white light is your friend
It shone in the beginning
And it is shining at the end

Om

Oh do not ever worry
Oh do not lose your mind
Oh do not even hurry
'Cause you can never hurry time

Om, Shanti Om

The past is always over
And it will not return
Unless you really want it -

Ommmmmmmmmmmm

The wind controls the towels
It shapes the dancing leaves
It animates the laundry
All the V-necks and the sleeves

Om, Shanti Om

Get ready for the white light
The white light is your friend
It shone in the beginning
And it is shining at the end

Om, Shanti Om

Ommmmmmmmmmmm
