Looking for the Bliss by Mangalananda prabhu (4 min video)
\nWe were kids back then
\nJust looking for the bliss
\nA ragtag band of transcendentalists
\nIt was Vishnu Johnny
\nAnd the white-trash yogi
\nI gave up drinking and smoking stogies
\nYou could see it in my eyes
\nI was saved by the Holy Ghost
\nSinging and dancing
\nAnd burning up the sin
\nThat\u2019s as close to holy
\nAs I think I\u2019ve ever been<\/p>\n

We had three school buses
\nThat were tuckered out and old
\nIn a parallel world
\nThey were chariots made of gold
\nI was a part-time cook
\nHelping with a prophecy
\nRadha-Damodara passing out the ecstasy
\nAnd the moon shone down
\nOn every little town
\nLord, You have a way
\nOf showing You\u2019re a friend
\nAnd if You\u2019d let me, I\u2019d do it all again<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been years since I\u2019ve been singing
\nAbout the promised land
\nPromises are hard to keep
\nWhen you\u2019re a man
\nPrabhupada, if you\u2019d come back some day
\nMaybe all the gray would fade away
\nMy world would be
\nJust a little more black and white
\nI could say \u201cPrabhupada said\u201d
\nAnd know that I was right
\nSometimes remembering is my only light
\nSo I hold you close in my heart tonight
\nSometimes remembering you
\nIs my only light
\nSo I hold you close in my heart tonight.
