Sundar Singh from Meridian by the Soil & the Sun

Sundar Singh
Was a diamond ring
Affixed to his mother’s right hand
Reflecting with zeal
All he knew to be real
Into the eyes as he passed

As a boy
He looked to the North
And pondered in curious ways
Over the blue Himalayas
Day after day was
Drawn to their light

But if God above
Descended in love
Then why does a man feel this weight?
So he tore every page
And threw them away
Into the fiery flame

To eternal rest
The Ludhiana Express
But the train never took him away
Instead he was shown to a vision
Given a mission
“Love thy land”

All of the losing, all of the bruises
Through the illusion, into confusion
Don’t it move ya?
Don’t it move you to hallelujah?

He arose from his bed
Went north to Tibet
Renounced by the ones whom he loved
Both body and soul
Cast into a hole
Three nights in the belly of death

Oh, Sadhu Singh
Great things have you seen!
You sit at the Master’s feet
You have known Maharishi
The secret that he keeps
As his charm

All of the losing, all of the bruises
Through the illusion, into confusion
Don’t it move ya?
Don’t it move you to hallelujah?

Should your sun not shine, Hallelujah
Should your moon not rise, Hallelujah
