Oh! The spirit of mine
Unbound you become
Pass the countless forms
Pull the million names
As the spear of emotion
Strikes the heart open
Oh! The spirit of mine
Unbound you become
Blow off the chaff
From hundred faiths
Rise beyond the bounds
Of the doctrines all
Leap beyond the boundless sphere
Oh! The spirit of mine
Unbound you become
Stop not anywhere
Build not a house
Touch not the end
Be endless, unbound
Oh! The spirit of mine
Unbound you become
He is the sage
That forever unshackle him
Unshackled you become,
Oh! Unbound you become,
And be that, Oh! The spirit of mine
Unbound you become
