Well I was told when I was six years old that I never could be free
'Cause God on high, a big man in the sky, was watching down over me.
As a girl I grew up scared of doing things I would've shared,
But I didn't dare with that man upstairs watching down over me.

Eight years ago I almost died, I went over to the other side,
But I did not find that big old guy watching down over me. I found that...

All I see is a part of me.
As I love myself, I love all things equally.

If I want peace in the world, I know it begins with me (2x)
'Cause life is a precious place to be!

When I came back, I was terrified of the very fact of being alive.
I felt so vulnerable, potentially alone.
In a great cosmic sea of oceanic mystery, who is me? What's reality?
Who would I find that would understand the other side where all was inter-linked perfectly?

But I was not alone 'cause all I see is a part of me.
As I love myself, I love all things equally.

If I want peace in the world, I know it begins with me (2x)
'Cause life is a precious place to be!

Hey you out there wanna be aware?
There's no need to be so scared, when all that you see is a part of you.
That helplessness you feel is not really real. It's a strangely distorted view.
Why not spend some time to find your inner peace of mind, 'cause no one's watching down over you?

You are so free. It's beyond what you can physically see.
As you love yourself, you love all things equally.

If I want peace in the world, I know it begins with me (2x)
'Cause life is a precious place to be!
