Pink Floyd morphs into 60's Surf Rock. Dreaming of enlightenment? Get off of that couch, stop scrolling and go outside. You CAN live your best life and experience inner peace and fulfillment. Be the Surfing Monk.

lyrics

Surfing Monk © 2022-2023 John R. Heartson

Sitting on the couch, can not seem to move
Is this just gravity, or weight we want to lose
The thoughts that roll around, seem to paralyze.
fragmented brain believes, Recycled pain and lies
If I could fall asleep, under the Bodhi tree
Then maybe I'd wake up, enlightened and free

Standing at the door, want to go outside
I could go for a walk, look up at the sky
But the soul in chains, stays and scrolls the screen
Filtered reality, controlled by the machine
If I could fall asleep, under the Bodhi tree
Then maybe I'd wake up, enlightened and free

LIke a surfing monk, riding a tidal wave
With a peaceful smile, I’m completely unafraid
with my long board, I can tame a Tsunami
and surf the realms between realities.

I’d be the Surfing Monk
I’d be the Surfing Monk

Guitar solo

LIke a surfing monk, riding a tidal wave
With a peaceful smile, I’m completely unafraid
with my long board, I can tame a Tsunami
and surf the realms between realities

I’d be the Surfing Monk
I’d be the Surfing Monk

Guitar Solo

Resting on the shore, watching the clouds go by
My mind is quiet now, I breath, I am alive
