The Mother's Joy

 

 Once there was a time  (2)

 When I kept hearing around me phrases like:

 "Don't like it, don't like it, don't like it. "

      "There's no peace, there's no peace."

I also got infected by this vibration.

 

      Now I wonder,

Why this used to happen (2)

      Now the Gracious Mother has revealed to me, (2)

Why this used to happen, why this used to happen,

The Mother showered Her Grace,

      the Mother showered Her Grace, showered Her Grace,

      The Mother, the Mother,

      the Mother showered Her Grace.



 Now I feel boundless joy, joy, joy within

 Flowing out, to everyone, it is flowing out to everyone,

 Flowing out to everyone, flowing out to everyone, (3)

The Mother's joy, the Mother's joy, the Mother's joy

She is pouring, pouring and pouring.

The Gracious Mother, Gracious Mother, Gracious Mother,

Gracious Mother, Gracious Mother is pouring.

 

She is pouring joy into everyone,

      She is pouring joy into everyone (3)

Ma, the Mother of Grace is pouring happiness into all (4)

 The Mother's joy, the Mother's joy

Why this used to happen, why this used to happen,

The Mother showered Her Grace,

The Mother's joy,... joy,... joy,... joy.
