Tomorrow Never Knows Lyrics
[Part I: Tomorrow Never Knows]
[Verse 1]
Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream
It is not dying, it is not dying
Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void
It is shining, oh, it is shining
And you may see the meaning of within
It is being, oh, it is being
[Verse 2]
That love is all and love is everyone
It is knowing, oh, it is knowing
And ignorance and hate may mourn the dead
It is believing, it is believing
So play the game, existence to the end
Of the beginning, of the beginning
[Outro]
Of the beginning, of the beginning
Of the beginning, of the beginning
Of the beginning, of the beginning
Of the beginning, of the beginning
Of the beginning, of the beginning
Of the beginning, of the beginning…
[Verse 1]
Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream
It is not dying, it is not dying
Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void
It is shining, oh, it is shining
And you may see the meaning of within
It is being, oh, it is being
[Verse 2]
That love is all and love is everyone
It is knowing, oh, it is knowing
And ignorance and hate may mourn the dead
It is believing, it is believing
So play the game, existence to the end
Of the beginning, of the beginning
[Outro]
Of the beginning, of the beginning
Of the beginning, of the beginning
Of the beginning, of the beginning
Of the beginning, of the beginning
Of the beginning, of the beginning
Of the beginning, of the beginning…
[Part II: Over the Rainbow]
[Verse 3]
Somewhere, over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I dreamed of
Once in a lullaby
[Verse 3]
Somewhere, over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I dreamed of
Once in a lullaby
