Duration: P00H05M00S
Description: YB More features master percusionist Cyro Baptista and trumpeter John Swana. The lyrics are very Zen-like (see below).

lyrics

Y B More

Looking across the sands of the vast white desert
Seems each grain sifts another moment
Waiting in the silence of my shadow
Calling to the whistling wind

Starring out into the deep blue ocean
Seems each wave sounds another mantra
Breathing, in the ocean’s coolness
Becoming, one with its constant motion

Wondering, waiting, looking for
Reasons that tell us why be more
Than what we are
Seems as if all answers lie
In the heavens, the waters, the earth, the sky
Simply by their presence

Standing in bright star beams from dark heavens
Seems each light shines from infinite closeness
Gazing, out into forever, forever, forever
Wondering, my mind travels lightyears in distance

Answers lie in what nature shows to us
Simply reflected in its presence
Being is not being and emptiness is full
Truly to listen and be simple is a complex rule
