Searching for Renewal (1977)

Those dreams and fantasies are coming true
But you exceedingly lose what was so hard to obtain
Now is the time to decide what to do
Count the losses and achieve what you have to gain

Some people are suddenly dramatically interesting
And they seem to be walking roads you've walked before
They stop to observe and intensely listening
Begin to see what you've lost and promise you more

When walking along dusty roads to distant places
Stop at the seductive temples along the way
And step inside and observe the faces
It seems to be the beginning of a new day

Looks like the color of your sarong has changed again
But your infinite direction remains the same
Face the east each day but commit your western sin
It's intriguing to make wrong moves in your game

The characters in the parlor game of Mahjong
Cause you to resort to the reliability of I Ching
Each Geisha with a samisen plays a different song
Little boys always say, I do my own thing

Temples never collapse when you remain inside
Dynasties never fall when rulers are kind
Young men enjoy their seductive pride
Two deities, in both, satisfaction they find

So with careful approach watch your school friends
Behind their secret smiles may be something new
When you've seen top, bottom and both ends
Check the angles. In the temples you find plenty to do.
