Song of Inspiration: Binding Energies

SONG OF INSPIRATION

Binding Energies

Words and Music by Marilynn Stark

(1)

Binding energies share gravity together:

Interpersonal relations defined;

Common vision, coincidental triangles,

Within the circle of perfection confined.

I know what it means to be seeking after truth,

Not knowing exactly where you stand.

But time can proffer a seasoned answer,

It’s not written in a system of command.

Redeeming grace, noble manner,

Demeanor beyond compare.

When all that is within sits well and fits

With all that is without, out there.

REFRAIN

Hare, hare, hare Rama, hare Krishna, hare Rama, hare Krishna, Rama, Rama, Rama, Rama, Rama.

Hare, hare, hare Rama, hare Krishna, hare Rama, hare Krishna, Rama, Rama, Rama, Rama, Rama. (2x)

(2)

Binding energies, dynamic impositions,

Non-violence and reality in kinship.

Lines and timings and hurling renditions

Flying fast within the circle of fellowship.

The way ultimate of that which is real

In the study of the foot and the hand,

Sheds light to fill darkness for the Tae Kwon Doist

Who hears the Grandmaster’s command.

Beseeming battle with dangers underwritten,

Calling courage and strength to the fore.

Your honor and knowledge shall never be smitten,

Warrior ancient of the Hwa Rang Do.

REFRAIN

Hare, hare, hare Rama, hare Krishna, hare Rama, hare Krishna, Rama, Rama, Rama, Rama, Rama.

Hare, hare, hare Rama, hare Krishna, hare Rama, hare Krishna, Rama, Rama, Rama, Rama, Rama. (2x)

This song was written under the inspiration of karate study when I was a purple belt. The version above is slightly revised, and the refrain was just added to that revision more recently. The second verse was written on February 22nd – 23rd of 2012.
