Oh, Dear Rumi
My little baby, I love you
You move me, my son
You improve me
Cause you're the one
The wisdom of the word
The source of all of creation
Ecstasy of devotion in the sound
Of every action
Striving to hear and see all life
An anomaly
Never lose that wonder, the necessity
Of mystery
Be drunk with passion and the peaceful
Rivers of love
Close both your eyes and hear
The distant flight of doves
When you're grown up in your prime
Stay away from God and crime
Embody justice for this tormenting
Tormented world
You will learn something every day
Don't dip your toes, go all the way
Be the change you want to see
And be the man you want to be
Oh dear Rumi
The supreme poet of love
You move me like the sun
Become the truth and hold it
Above all
Get lost in the breeze of the
Trees that stand tall
Don't you realize that it's all
About knowledge and love
Close both your eyes and hear
The distant flight of doves
When you're grown up in your prime
Stay away from God and crime
Embody justice for this tormenting
Tormented world
You will learn something every day
Don't dip your toes, go all the way
Be the change you want to see
And be the man you want to be
Man you want to be
Dear son
I pray that your days are long and
Your path matches your song
Your smile is worth
Every sacrifice in this life
Your breath now my reason to go on
I love you more than I ever could imagine
For anything on this earth
When you're grown up in your prime
Stay away from God and crime
Embody justice for this tormenting
Tormented world
You will learn something every day
Don't dip your toes, go all the way
When you're grown up in your prime
Stay away from God and crime
Embody justice for this tormenting
Tormented world
You will learn something every day
Don't dip your toes, go all the way
Be the change you want to see
And be the man and be the man
You want to be
