Go On Alone!
Sung by Swami Kriyananda, in a concert in Germany around 1982.
Lyrics:
Some men call it progress—
Down with those who doubt!—
To join the causes others join,
And shout when others shout.
Come, you’re a man,
No passive stone!
Stand up, and call your soul your own!
Go on alone! Go on alone!
Banish weakness: Go on alone!
Go on alone! Go on alone!
Don’t look back! just go on alone!
Some men lack the daring
Ever to be free!
They shun the heights, and crowd the depths,
And court security.
Come, you’re a man,
No passive stone!
Stand up, and call your soul your own!
Go on alone! Go on alone!
Banish weakness: Go on alone!
Go on alone! Go on alone!
Don’t look back! just go on alone!
Cowards see but pride in Singularity,
“Oh, never mind if men are wrong,
So long as they agree!”
Come, you’re a man,
No passive stone!
Stand up, and call your soul your own!
Go on alone! Go on alone!
Banish weakness: Go on alone!
Go on alone! Go on alone!
Don’t look back! just go on alone!
Claim the power within you
Error to defy!
The world may change or disappear,
But truth can never die!
Come, you’re a man,
No passive stone!
Stand up, and call your soul your own!
Go on alone! Go on alone!
Banish weakness: Go on alone! Go on alone!
Go on alone! Don’t look back! just go on alone!
