about

This song is inspired by the journey we take when we go beyond our bodies at the time of death and reunite with The Supreme Personality of Godhead, or God.

In other words, we cross the bridge of enlightenment by glorifying the names of The Lord.

The song uses the ancient language of Sanskrit.
Here are the translations:

Jaya sri-krishna-chaitanya
prabhu nityananda
sri-adwaita gadadhara
shrivasadi-gaura-bhakta-vrinda

I offer my respectful obeisances unto Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Lord Nityananda, Sri Advaita, Gadadhara Pandit, Srivas Thakur, and all the devotees of Lord Caitanya.

Hare Krishna
Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna
Hare Hare
Hare Rama
Hare Rama
Rama Rama
Hare Hare

Hare - The energy of The Lord
Krishna - The Lord (all attractive)
Rama - The brother of The Lord

When these 32 syllables are said, or sang, it translates into a plead to The Lord to engage us in his eternal service, otherwise known as seva.

lyrics

Lyrics:

We were born with a blindfold on
we still see a million lights turn on
our desires will ever last
until we fight to leave them in our past

please just beg for the ultimate truth
never let your demons tell you what to do
and none of these lights will ever shine like you
your the stars of stars (the star of stars) with your hue of blue

I surrender onto this journey I've always seemed to miss
one million lifetimes comes to this beautiful bridge of enlightenment
and I take on step to start the war to find you've taken ten times more
we battle maya, no, not with swords, but with our masters perfect words

Jaya sri-krishna-chaitanya
prabhu nityananda
sri-adwaita gadadhara
shrivasadi-gaura-bhakta-vrinda

I surrender onto this journey I've always seemed to miss
a million lifetimes comes to this beautiful bridge of enlightenment

When it's time to cross, you'll know the day, to shout and glorify
all His names

Whether we're at the farm, in the streets, or we're paying our respects to his lotus feet, whether we're deaf, or dumb, we feel hopeless and numb, or we literally can't speak because we don't have a tongue.
If there's a will there's a way, you can yell and sing his name, sure your bodies are broken, maybe your mouth can't even open, these "abnormalities" are fallacies, they DEFINITELY don't define your spirituality

Our bodies are prisons and our souls are free
Just chant and listen to your spirits melody
To glorify his names is more than just a saying
I know you caught onto this

It's all about our consciousness

I surrender onto this journey I've always seemed to miss
one million lifetimes comes to this beautiful bridge of enlightenment
and I take on step to start the war to find you've taken ten times more
we battle maya, no, not with swords, but with our masters perfect words

Jaya sri-krishna-chaitanya
prabhu nityananda
sri-adwaita gadadhara
shrivasadi-gaura-bhakta-vrinda

I surrender onto this journey I've always seemed to miss
a million lifetimes comes to this beautiful bridge of enlightenment

Hare Krishna
