Driving Your Malady Away
From both your eyes, from your nostrils,
From both your ears and from your chin
Forth from your heart and mind
And from your tongue
I’ll drive your malady away
From what is voided
within,
From strands of your hair
And from tip of your nails,
From all yourself top to toe
I’ll drive your malady away
From strands of your hair
And from tip of your nails,
From all yourself top to toe
I’ll drive your malady away
Ill thoughts and
nightmares
Will no longer visit you
Even in the darkest of nights
Sleep with the silver moon
Rise with the burning sun
Will no longer visit you
Even in the darkest of nights
Sleep with the silver moon
Rise with the burning sun
Now spread your wings
And fly with the birds
Under the bluest of the skies
Croon in the early mornings
And take a man’s blues away
Flow with the rivers
And gather the streams
Down from the hills and mountains
Let flowery grass spring up
Let there be lakes with lotus blooms
Drift with the clouds
And the blowing wind
Without a destination
To the faraway deserts
And fill up the oasis
And fly with the birds
Under the bluest of the skies
Croon in the early mornings
And take a man’s blues away
Flow with the rivers
And gather the streams
Down from the hills and mountains
Let flowery grass spring up
Let there be lakes with lotus blooms
Drift with the clouds
And the blowing wind
Without a destination
To the faraway deserts
And fill up the oasis
