Track 1. Film
Words and Music by Titiksava Karunika Das

Had a pocket full of dreams
Thought I’d reach them all at last
Life is seldom what it seems
My dreams shattered like broken glass

Don’t you know that those who walk away they only wander
Can’t you see the malcontent in those who never really try

But everybody’s stuck in their own film
Everybody wants to be the star
But we don’t even know what is real
Yea we don’t even know who we are

Don’t you know that those who walk away they only wander
Can’t you see the malcontent in those who never really try

Could you be the one who walks away
Will you be the one who knows the score
Look inside the truth resides within
And you know the truth unlocks the door

Don’t you know that those who walk away they only wander
Can’t you see the malcontent in those who never really try
If you’ve ever felt there must be more to life than most men ponder
You can understand there must be something
Must be something on the other side

Track 2. Darkness to Light
Words and Music By Titiksava Karunika Das

You know it seems a long, long and weary road
But we’re holdin’ on and you can tell if we’re just fakin’ it
Why we went away really couldn’t say
But we’re trying to come back hope we’ll be makin’ it
You are the one who has opened up the door
Such faith and compassion we had never seen before

May the world recognize your might
Helping us through our plight
With the torchlight of knowledge you’re leading the way
Turning the darkness to light

This world’s a troubled place, everybody wants their space
The authorities tell us what to think and how to feel
You taught us Krishna’s name, now we do the same
And it’s really true, that we have found something real
You came along and you turned us all around
Now we want to give all the love that we’ve found

Who would have ever know that when you left your home
Such a humble man would return so victorious
Now we want to spread your fame, every one will know your name
Srila Prabhupada your activities are glorious
You gave us the best gift that any man could give
The perfect example of how we’re meant to live

Track 3. Cheaters and the Cheated
Words and Music by Chandra Shakar Swami and Titiksava Karunika das

Cheaters and the cheated I was defeated
No one to turn to except for you (the spiritual master)
No reason no rhyme and that was their crime
(They say) That life had just happened out on the weekend

No rhyme no reason no purpose no direction
Lost in love friendship and affection
Is there anyone gonna ask the real question
Oh my soul... Where will I go?

We had befallen into the well
You came and you pulled us to where we could tell
The difference from reality and the illusion
That the leaders try to feed us meant to keep us in delusion

No rhyme no reason no purpose no direction
Lost in love friendship and affection
Is there anyone gonna ask the real question
Oh my soul... Where will I go?

Track 4. It Doesn't Really Matter
Words and music by Titiksava Karunika Das

It doesn’t really matter how much you make
It doesn’t really matter what you drive
It doesn’t really matter if your teeth are fake
It doesn’t really matter if you’re fifty or five

But ask yourself, have I abounding Love?
For every being and every one especially for God above

It doesn’t really matter the medals you’ve won
It doesn’t really matter if you’re good in a fight
It doesn’t really matter how quick you run
It doesn’t really matter if you’re black or white

But ask yourself, have I abounding Love?
For every being and every one especially for God above

Maya’s there just to drag you down
It’s an illusion, don’t be fooled

It doesn’t really matter if you’ve got a big name
Adoration and distinction, women and fame
If you’re healthy or you’re wealthy, under-rated or plain
Educated over-stated yea you’ve got big brains
It doesn’t really matter how big you build
Where you live or the positions that you’ve filled
It doesn’t really matter if you’ve been to the moon
And it doesn’t really matter if you like this tune

But ask yourself, have I abounding Love?
For every being and every one especially for God above

There’s nothing else that really matters
There’s nothing else that really matters

Track 5. I’ll Always Be There
Words and Music by Titiksava Karunika das

(This song is from the perspective of Krishna)

True love comes in the knowing you’ve got to love to be loved
But if ever you should leave me, you’ll be the one I’m thinking of

And I’ll always be there, you can bet that I’ll be true
Yes I’ll always be there, I’m the only one for you

And if you leave you’ll be sorry, trading good times for bad
But you always should remember when you come home I’ll be so glad
Cause all I really want is to see you happy
And always have you by my side

And I’ll always be there, you can bet that I’ll be true
Yes I’ll always be there, I’m the only one for you


If the night becomes cloudy and you’re thinking to go
Though you’ll never be as happy there is one thing you should know
That all I really want is to see you happy
And always have you by my side

And I’ll always be there, you can bet that I’ll be true
Yes I’ll always be there, I’m the only one for you
Yes I’ll always be there you’re the only one for me
Yes I’ll always be there but I know you must be free

Track 6. Crazy To Believe
Words and music byTitiksava Karunika Das and Zoë Alexander

Well I’m searching for the answers
And I’m wondering where this road will lead
Kindly tell me, is there a difference
That you’re feeling between you and me?

I know that you’ll say that I’m crazy to believe
But have you something better that you’re hiding up your sleeve?

People saying “listen to me”
That they’ve found it, and seem quite sincere
Their behavior often dffers quite acutely
From the things that you hear

I know that you’ll say that I’m crazy to believe
But have you something better that you’re hiding up your sleeve?

I really want to know, if there’s any one who knows
All the things that Jesus knows
Degradation of religion, to just another money-making business
Is never gonna stop me from believing in something when I sing

When I’m wandering deep inside myself
There’s this something that hands me the truth
Tears are flowing, my heart’s melting,
There’s a wisdom that we all once knew

I know that you’ll say that I’m crazy to believe
But have you something better that you’re hiding up your sleeve?
I know, yes I know, that you think I’m crazy, to believe
So crazy, but can you show me something better, something better just for me?
Till then I’m searching, for the answers
And I’m wondering where this road will lead

Track 7. I’ll Always Be There
Words and Music by Titiksava Karunika das

True love comes in the knowing you’ve got to love to be loved
But if ever you should leave me, you’ll be the one I’m thinking of

And I’ll always be there, you can bet that I’ll be true
Yes I’ll always be there, I’m the only one for you

And if you leave you’ll be sorry, trading good times for bad
But you always should remember when you come home I’ll be so glad

Cause all I really want is to see you happy
And always have you by my side

And I’ll always be there, you can bet that I’ll be true
Yes I’ll always be there, I’m the only one for you

If the night becomes cloudy and you’re thinking to go
Though you’ll never be as happy there is one thing you should know
That all I really want is to see you happy
And always have you by my side

And I’ll always be there, you can bet that I’ll be true
Yes I’ll always be there, I’m the only one for you
Yes I’ll always be there you’re the only one for me
Yes I’ll always be there but I know you must be free

Track 8. Fallible Soldiers
Words and Music By Titiksava Karunika Dasa

In this great battle of material existence
We are being wiped out by the enemy called time
We seek protection in our friends and our society
Believing that they’ll save us, but we couldn’t be more blind
We stand surrounded by our doctors our technology
Our wives and children standing proudly by our side
But our make shift army has no choice but to desert us
No fault or theirs, it’s just part of the design

And yet we cling to these fallible soldiers
Fallible soldiers how can you help us now?
And yet we cling to these fallible soldiers
Fallible soldiers can’t help anyone anyhow

Life’s perfection is simply hearing
Of the pastimes of the Transcendental One
And Glorifying His Activities
Will bring us all to the ultimate perfection

Krishna’s love is all around
And when we look He can be found
And don’t you know He’s our best friend
Only He can help us in the end

There are so many, so many types of people
The common worker, The philosopher and mystic yogi
And ultimately the unalloyed devotee
For all of them the process is the same

Why should we cling to these fallible soldiers?
Fallible soldiers how can you help us now?
And yet we cling to these fallible soldiers
Fallible soldiers can’t help anyone anyhow

Track 11. My Love

Words and music by Laghu Bhagavatamrita and Titiksava Karunika das

I saw this shinning light eminating from Your eyes
It left my heart wide open, I was completely mesmorized
I felt my life starting over when I saw you smiling at me
It was like you could see my dreams, You gave me my reason to be

And now that I found you love, how can I please you now my love
I’ll make a sacrifice, produce a gift for you my love
Even you turn me down, still all of the love I have for you……. remain

It seemed the whole universe was hovering ‘round your feet
You were so beautiful, a wonderful sight for all to see
You came along in time when I was looking for a friend
That shinning magic star. Beginning, middle and end

And now that I found you love, how can I please you now my love
I’ll make a sacrifice, produce a gift for you my love
Even you turn me down, all of the love I have for you remains
My love My love My love

Track 12. It’s The Maha Mantra
Words and music by Titiksava Karunika das

I was feeling down-hearted
Feeling down on my luck
I call my friend up he tells me
“What you’ve got is enough”

It’s the maha mantra that’s gonna set you free
It’s the maha mantra that’s gonna get you the mercy

I wanted to believe what he told me
But I’ve had a hard time keeping it together
I’ve got bills to pay, children to feed
And I’m feeling under stormy wheather
Still he told me

It’s the maha mantra that’s gonna set you free
It’s the maha mantra that’s gonna give you the mercy

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare


Come all you sinners and sages
Now I’ve got something to tell
It’s been aknowledged for ages
Though very few know it well

It’s the maha mantra that’s gonna set you free
It’s the maha mantra that’s goonna give you the mercy

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

Track 14. Song For Valmiki
Words and music by Titiksava Karunika Dasa

Did you make it home to Godhead, did you get that far?
To where the lovers of the Lord and pure devotees are
To where every soul is singing, praising the One most high
Far beyond this world of sorrow, the spiritual sky

What happened to you my friend will happen to us all
Should we turn a deafened ear, ignore the inner call?
We can stride far from the truth and hide within our mind
Still no one has ever fooled the killer known as time

Not many people saw what you could see
That we’re just dreamers in a world of dreams but temporarily
That there’s a realm of beauty within a simple song
We can all get there someday, won’t you sing along

Hare Krishna Hare KrishnaKrishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

Did you make it home to Godhead, did you get that far?
To where the lovers of the Lord and pure devotees are
To where every soul is singing, praising the One most high
Far beyond this world of sorrow, the spiritual sky

Track 15. It’s My Nature
Words and music by Titiksava Karunika Das

It’s my nature to rock and roll
Just ‘cause I do don’t mean I ain’t got soul
It’s my nature

We do it for Krishna…. ‘cause He’s the ultimate goal
Arjuna was a fighter to the highest degree
He didn’t wanna fight till Krishna made his plea
He said “But it’s your nature”

Arjuna fought it for Krishna……. fought it for you and me
It doesn’t really matter the type of work that you do

We’ve all got different natures different mentalities too
We’ve only to align ourselves with the ultimate truth
Or it’s like tryin’ to stop lord Jagannatha

It’s my nature It’s my nature

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

Music by Titiksava Karunika das
