Serj Tankian - Rumi lyrics

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 and 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

Whеn you're grown up, in your prime
Stay away from God and crime
Embody justicе for this
Tormenting, tormented world
You will learn something every day
Don't dip your toes, go all the way
Be the change you wanna 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 wanna see
And be the man you wanna 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 any being 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 wanna see
And be the man, and be the man
And be the man you want to be
