Lyrics:

I was Smoking Maui wowie with a daoist down in Cali
I asked him what he though Godwas
He smiled wide as valleys
He answered quite preposterous and wild and uncanny
He said god is a certain type of flow
I said woah
I said Hold on wait a minute
Hold on wait a minute
What do you mean by this
He grabbed the joint and then he lit it
He took a hit and passed the spliff and laughed a lot
A matter of fact
He laughed so much that out his nose came out some snot
He said
God ain't a man in the sky
God is the energy that began all of life
Gods is within the leaves in the breeze found inside
Within you within me all the time
Oh shit this weed got me high
I had to lean against a tree to get my equilibrium right
He told me breathe let it be
Like a Beatle
He put his hands on me and I felt pins and needles
He continued on though
Told me to envision god as a long chord
Sang by the universe and we're all notes
It's even in the gospel
The Bible says this all began when god spoke
But my holy book is the Dao Te Ching
Describing god as source of everything
And I'd you wanna feel it you must first empty the yourself
Cause
Clay forms a vessel, the walls form the mold
But it's the emptiness inside that holds the gold

The dao is the infinite wisdom
Profound in its simple expression
Without it we're stuck in a prison
Feel the phenomenal force of this lesson
The sound of one who knows is silence
The monk then stopped talking and I began to realize how just high I am
I couldn't handle the quiet for inside my mind a riot
Broke out with quite an aggression
So I offered a question
I asked what In his past started this path
He started to laugh sparked up the joint and took a drag
See
I was just like you lost and confused every season without a clue of what to do
I tried to reason went through the hoops
I got a job
A mortgage
A wife and four kids
My life was working
For more and more shit
So much so that I had to pay for storage
Well I got sick and tired
When my kids got old to leave the house I retired
I was reading bout a man a Doaist monk who inspired
Me to join a monastery
See at first the change was scary
But then I got accustomed
I meditated daily
And I practiced all there customs
Until I turned 80
And then I had a sudden spark of realization
That god wanted me to travel round this nation
I renounced most the rules that I adopted and I found out marijuana helped me to talk to god
So here I am, smoking with you

I was smoking Maui Wowie with a Daoist down in Cali
