ŕ Song Lyrics ŕ S
Song Name: Struggling in the Mountains of Worldly
Desires
Official Name: Pilgrim’s Progress
Author: Parivadi Dasa
Book Name: None
LYRICS:
(1)
Struggling in the mountains
of worldly desires
Falling in the caves of
lost consciousness
Stumbling through the
darkness of pain and illusion
Burning through the desert of
our own selfishness
(2)
Deep in the jungle of anger
of envy
Coming through of swaps of
casualness
Devoured by the fire of
lust that surrounds us
Here is the mist devoid of
happiness
(Refrain)
On and on and on and on,
We are trying to reach you,
Lord.
Seeking a taste of your
ocean of happiness
Reaching to the light that
is breaking through the darkness
Trying to escape from the
world of birth and death
(3)
Drowned by desires for
profit and exclusion
Crowned by with thorns of
adoration’s quest
Haunted by the ghost of
merging in the oneness
Swallowed by the serpent of
sleep and ignorance
(4)
Cooling the fires with
rainfalls of mercy
Prabhupada has come to lead us back home
Dancing on the path of
Nectar of Devotion
Seeds for love of Krsna in our hearts are sown
