Inner Revolution
Inner Revolution
Written while on a long drive from Ottawa to Kitchener in October 2023 – with two community kirtans along the way in killaloe and peterborough ontario! this was written to reflect the upbeat atmosphere that prevails when we decide to take control of our lives and navigate the twists and turns in life with as much joy as we did on those back roads of ontario. this song is dedicated to our friend tina mundelsee, the most positive person in the world, who leads the workshop Inner Revolution to spread her wisdom. Many of these lyrics come from her teachings. How this ended up sounding like reggae we’re not exactly sure

Inner Revolution - Lyrics
. . . inner revolution . . .
. . . inner revolution . . .
let us celebrate the morning
and be grateful for the day
let’s face the twists and turns in life, and see them in another kind of way
let us sit in meditation,
we’ll discover so much more
we feel the calm around us, and the world looks so much brighter than before
om tryumbakam yajamahe
sugandhim pushti vardanam
urva rukamiva bandinan
mrityor mokshiya mamritat
let us climb into the driver’s seat
on our journey to be free
this is when we realize that we can choose exactly who to be
when we’re flowing with the energy
in our body and our mind
we feel the gift of life, and there’s no limit to the peace that we will find
tatpurushaya vidmahe
mahadevaya dhimahi
tanno rudrah prachodayat
om namah shivaya
it’s a time of transformation,
to a more empowered you
breaking down the barriers, and cutting chains and boldly walking through
so let’s open every doorway
for we hold the master key
it’s time to spread your wings and let the inner revolution set you free
it’s time to spread your wings and let the inner revolution set you free
the inner revolution set you free!
. . . inner revolution, set you free
