Baba

I've seen them kneel with baited breath for the ritual
I've watched this experience raise them to psuedo higher levels
I've watched them leave their families in pursuit of your Nirvana
I've seen them coming to line up from Switzerland and America

(-chorus-)
How long will this take Baba
How long have we been sleeping
Do you see me hanging on to every word you say?
How soon will I be holy
How much will this cost guru
How much longer till you completely absolve me?

I've seen them give their drugs up in place of makeshift altars
I've heard them chanting kali kali frantically
I've heard them rotely repeat you teachings with elitism
I've seen them boasting robes and foreign sandalwood beads

(-chorus-)

Ave Maria 
Ave Maria

I've been overlooking god in their own essence
I've seen their upwards glances in hopes of instant salvation
I've seen their righteousness mixed without loving compassion
I've watched you smile as the students bow to kiss your feet

(-chorus-)

Give me the strength all knowing one
How long till enlightenment
How much longer till you completely absolve me

Ave Maria
Ave Maria
