The sun was out, my mind was dark, the heat was getting strong
Dazed and confused, I sat outside, knowing something was wrong

I was sitting outside of the pool, never aware that it was there.
Then I saw it, and I jumped in; without a thought - without a care.

Suddenly I began to drown, and upon my wrist I felt a hand.
It was the Guru guiding me, and from then on I swam.

At this point I was just learning, not nearly able to swim
But as my Guru swam alongside, I found support in Him

Suddenly Maya came along, and took over my mind
As Maya pulled, I began to cry, and somehow got left behind

Then from nowhere Waheguru came, and She shined within my soul
Finally Maya let me go, and finally I felt whole.

O Sikhs, this is the time, to overcome the world ocean's tide
Using sat-Naam as your Vessel, and sat-Guru as your guide.

I salute you. I humbly salute you.

The Primal One, the Pure Light, without beginning, without an end.
Ages to Ages, and Ages more, There has been and will always be One.

Like a fish, without water, I would die without you.

Like a child, without mother, I just cry withoutyou.

Like Earth, around the sun, my life revolves around you.

You are the light that shines within me, O, when will I have found you!?

Those that live in darkness cry, and live just to denounce you.

What decree, what name is there, with which I could pronounce you?

I search and learn and love and live, and I could never doubt you.

Like a fish, without water, I would die without you.

Yes, live life, but why without YOU?

I salute you. I humbly salute you.

The Primal One, the Pure Light, without beginning, without an end.
Ages to Ages, and Ages more, There has been and will always be One.
