Mantra: Carry Me / Tara Lai

Complete Mantra:
A tear drop falls into the ocean
This world is so full of greed
I cannot swim in these waters
Beloved, please carry me


Welling up, waves of emotion
Guide my soul through this storm
Show me the way with your mercy
Guide me, guide me back home

Chorus
Carry me across the ocean
Carry me with your love
Give me your hand
Hold me close
Give me peace, give me peace, sweet peace

Carry me across the ocean
Carry me with your love
Give me your hand Hold me close
Give me peace
Give me peace
