Grow, my son, and become a man Grow, my son, and become a man Accept with serenity whatever comes your way and bear with dignity all that you must endure Come, be my playmate for a while, Leave all your plans, understand that my game is precise Pleasure and pain are alike So rejoice even when in despair Look at me while I smile The one who is true won't fear my dark side He'll always prostrate to my unsparing light He will always prostrate to my unsparing light (Instrumental) Grow my son and become a man Grow my son and become a man Trust, be still, I will illumine your way Now let it unfold Let it be My voice cries upon the earth seeking the one with the urge to surrender his life whose heart is in love willing to leave aside any interest that may conflict with mine By dwelling in me he forgets his pride He embraces despair and walks towards his destiny with a smile Surrounded by flames he sheds his desires And in ecstasy sings praises to the Mother And in ecstasy sings praises to the Mother (instrumental) Do you feel this grace that is tirelessly falling upon us Do you feel this benevolent force that in silence sustains us Do you feel this warmth that has come undeserved in the night of ignorance Do you see this light piercing the shadows of arrogance (instrumental) Strong, fearless, courageous, kind-hearted I am of the nature of my Father Standing on my own Nothing to hope for I am of the nature of my Father Burnt are my sorrows in flames of devotion I am of the nature of my Father Poised in my own peace abiding in oneness I am of the nature of the most-high I am of the nature of the most-high I am of the nature of the most-high
