I have a physical body
But I am more than my physical body
I have legs, lips and toes, fingers and elbows and nose and
Soft belly, round hips, sleek shoulder line, warm breasts
But I am more than these and all the rest
Yeah
I have an emotional body
But I am more than my emotional body
I feel happiness, sweet joy, bitter sadness
and I can be annoyed, pissed off
I feel my fears, I have an enormous capacity for love
But I am more than these and all the rest
Yeah
I have a mental body
But I am more than my mental body
I'm open-minded, I brainstorm
to give my dreams a shape and a form
Stretch my creativity and I just located my lost keys
But I am more than these and all the rest
Yeah
I have a spiritual body
But I am more than my spiritual body
I am awake in the now simply opening petal by petal
I'm passionate, free to play,
I center down in the quiet to pray
But I am more than these and all the rest
Yeah
I have a soul connecting every piece
Making me more than the sum of all of these
Orchestrating this dance of me:
Sweet mystery
Yeah
