Born To Shine
The mantra in this song is a call to Ganesh, who stands at the doorway between the world of form and the world of spirit. Ganesh, with his giant body and elephant head, shines with the brilliance of a million suns. He connects our outer life, our sense of a personal self, with the depth of our soul's truth and purpose. We call to Ganesh to remove the obstacles between soul and personality, and to protect our journey into relationship with our deeper being.
Lyrics:
I see it in your eyes, your spirit tries to shine but it’s subdued
It’s how you spend your time, how you use your mind, it’s how you’re used
I can hear it in your voice, so many choices given away
You were born to shine, not to wallow in your mind day after day
It’s time to awaken, it’s time to be free
It’s time to align your heart with all you’re meant to be
It’s time to disentangle all the knots that you have tied
To let yourself unravel all the pain you’ve held inside
It’s time to awaken, to feel your inner flame
To call upon your spirit, speak the holy name
It’s time to sing your anthem, the one you came to sing
To blow the horn of destiny, let the bells of freedom ring
You were never just a cog in someone’s big machine
You’re as brilliant as a million suns, you were born to be seen
You can step out of that prison now, let your armor fall away
You were born to shine, not to hide behind your mind day after day
It’s time to awaken, it’s time to be free
It’s time to align your heart with all you’re meant to be
It’s time to weave the fabric given as your life
Warp and weft revealing all the love you’ve held inside
It’s time to awaken, feel your inner flame
To call upon your spirit, speak the holy name
It’s time to sing your anthem, the one no one else can sing
To blow the horn of destiny, let the bells of freedom ring
We were born to shine
We’re as brilliant as the stars
May the life we wrap around us
Reveal the light we are
Om Gang Ganapataye Namaha
You were born to shine, not to hide behind the scenes
You can step out of the shadows now and let yourself be seen
