LYRICS:
WORDS AND MUSIC BY PORTER SINGER
Did I ever tell you the story about your name?
The night you were born we gave that decision away
Did I ever tell you the story of our day?
It was all arranged
My parents were scared I was being taken away
It was soft indoctrination
It was dysfunction we signed up for
We swallowed our disillusion, went back for more
Did I ever tell you about singing these songs?
Entraining my mind and an audience willing to sing along
It was glorious communion
It was sweet hypocrisy
It meant something to all of us
It gave us something to be
'Cause without all the brainwash
Without all the cosplay
Without all the pontification
You wouldn't be here today
So you bet I'm grateful for my naïveté
‘Cause without all the borrowing
You wouldn’t be here today
It was a bumpy adventure
Flying through space like a skipping stone
But what I want desperately for you are adventures you can call your own
It certainly wasn't how most kids were brought up
But as you get older you'll see: everyone gets their own brand of f-ed up
'Cause without all the brainwash
Without all the cosplay
Without all the untenable truths
You wouldn't be here today
So you bet I'm grateful for my naïveté
‘Cause without all the borrowing
You wouldn’t be here today
It was a deep dive into discipline
No use finding fault
I finally lost interest
But I love the result

I loved it Porter. It’s more personal for the Kundalini fam I’m sure, but I can really feel you with the brainwash. It actually turns out to have been super helpful really. 🥂❤️🙏🏼 Brilliant song from your heart. Love you 💗💗💗

This is the most amazing example; the greatest modeling of the power of CHOICE. I'm so inspired and compelled to look at my life through a different lens. This time not the usual lens of .... (insert victim script) ... but to look deeply and honestly for what "good" can I glean from this experience that has been a challenge. See, you didn't talk "at us" - you demonstrated for us how you found a type of freedom by creating a song and showing us a different way to look at it. Wow, I know I commented the other day but I needed to say more. This is a powerful example of choice. Do we choose to focus on the unfortunate, unfair or misguided circumstances and allow that to dominate our lives and emotions which keep us stagnated? No, the better way is to choose to process the experience, find the good and move on. Difficult lesson in life and extremely challenging to do. Thank you for showing us how you handled it. I respect your strength. I want to sincerely forgive my circumstance - I have begun to look for the good. I believe I will succeed.

Wonderful.

Dearest Sister of Light, I once helped support you by buying a ticket to Bhakti Fest. There I got to meet you and the family. I just adore you and your new found freedom. Being from Salt Lake City and watching all the Mormons rising out of their spells, I imagine another music video. I’m going to share your song with a group called The Mormons on Mushrooms 😌 ( most are NOT Mormons anymore. 😂 Blessings to you. Keep shining bright ⭐️
