Tirtha Yatra

English translation

I wanna go to India

Put faces to paper Put visuals to words that I've read

Get a better understanding of the culture that's surrounding All the scriptures I've been pounding Watching play out inside my head

I'd go to Kurukshetra

You know I couldn't even tell you If I am or not pronouncing it right

But coming from a cousin-loving, clubfoot, somethin'-somethin' Backwoods searcher I would hope that you'd admire the try

I'd go to all the places

Where Narada stood

I'd read the Bhagavad Gita

I'd read the song by

God

You know the Bhagavad Gita

You know the Gita's just a chapter In an epic 'bout a footbridge wide

I'd love to tell you 'bout it Though I'm afraid it'd take forever I'm afraid it'd take forever And I'd hate to take up all your time

But anyways, I read it

I read it to the credits Vyas wrote it masterfully

It took a little under two years for me to make it through But now I'm here telling you It changed me metaphysically

It taught me all about dharma

The thing I ought to do 'Til the big man dances

And starts it all anew

Start again It taught me all about dharma

The thing I ought to do

Until the big man dances

And starts it all anew

I wanna Tirtha Yatra

Roll like the Pandavas With my brothers and my mom and wife

All the boys could bring their ladies 'Cause the one that Indra gave me Is the mama to my babies And I ain't about to split my nights

It wouldn't be all different

To how we're actually living 'Cept we'd leave behind all our merch

But we'd bring along our fiddles and basses And rental guitars and mandolins 'Cause that's the way the dharma works

We'd play Louisville Breakdown

We'd play Shelvin Rock

We'd sing Hare Krishna

We'd play a song by God
