I’m lucky just to be alive today
I don’t deserve the love you send my way
I watch in wonder as you light the world
You take a grain of sand and make a pearl
I’ve let you down so many times before
And here I come to ask for help once more
Now you may not accept or understand
But you’re my only guide to Lotus Land

There aren’t too many things that I believe
I never ever wanted to deceive
There aren’t too many things that we can know
But I left all delusion long ago
There’s nothing I desire more than you
And no matter what I’ve done my love is true
So now I’ve got to help you understand
That you’re my only guide to Lotus Land

I searched the East, I searched the West
I searched through howling desert storms
I searched the least, I searched the best
I searched through all my soul’s reforms
And I’ve been informed
That there’s no one else like you

I woke up from a nightmare in the gloom
I was left alone inside my shattered room
I called your name but no one did reply
Except a voice that said, “Prepare to die”
The future seems appalling in the night
Tell me, will it kiss or will it bite?
I’ve got to make you see and understand
That you’re my only guide to Lotus Land
