| Jesse Richards Vegetarian's guide to the universe Hey, do you want to know how you can feed yourself and let your spirit grow? Hey then, you gotta listen to the soul drums. They tell the story of how eyes that come to see the thread of light connecting all of sentient life, will throw a feast that honors all. I found myself out on some dirt road, yeah Up came a man in a big gray cloak I found myself down upon my knees cause he had light in his eyes and a soul that sees He said I can feel myself in the animals I can feel myself in the sun and in the sap that flows in the tree as it grows in the stars above and in the deer that runs I can feel myself in the prisoner I can feel myself in the free…. The vegetarian’s guide to the universe is love. Once was the time in this modern life I shot myself with rubber arrows I pulled them out one by one till I could see through the hole my heart was gone One dark night I fell to my knees I cried, “God if your spirit’s in the world, then show it to me!” My last chance, death cry, got her attention cause the lights turned on and I could feel myself in the animals I could feel myself in the sun and in the sap that flows in the tree as it grows in the stars above and in the deer that runs I can feel myself in the prisoner I can feel myself in the free the vegetarian’s guide to the universe is love. Look in the eyes of the tender hearted look in the eyes of the steel, hate and numb there’s innocence so pure and wild it could erase all the damage done I held the lamb in my arms and I ran to the edge of the earth crying “Mother, Father! If all the eyes in the world hold the spark of God, then every face is a kaleidoscope of love!” And I can feel myself in the animals I can feel myself in the sun and in the sap that flows in the tree as it grows in the stars above and in the deer that runs I can feel myself in the prisoner I can feel myself in the free the vegetarian’s guide to the universe is love.
