DAre you ready to cross over?
Are you ready to let go?
To Gface the final curtain, in the Dland of I don’t know.
Jesus was a wise Bmman and Geveryone’s a Dsaint.
Are you Emready to cross Aover?
Are you Gready?D  
DYou can read the good or bad books,
Read them fast or slow.
GBut is it fact or fiction?
There’s Djust one way to know.
Buddha was Bmdancing underGneath the Bodhi Dtree
He was Emready to cross Aover, He was Gready…D  
So why Ghold on, Dhold on…
It’s Ggood that you believe
But it’s F#better if you know
Don’t Ghold on, DhoBmld Gon…
GSomeone’s Bmthere to catch you when you’re Aready to let Dgo.
DI was sitting by the Ganges looking for another way.
But Gall roads lead to heaven.
No Dmatter what they say.
Krishna was a Bmgood man.
GWhy was he so Dblue?
He was Emready to cross Aover, He was Gready…D

It’s Ggood that you believe
But it’s F#better if you know
Don’t hold Gon, DhoBmld Gon…
