music by Rev. Yolanda.
lyrics by Rev. Yolanda inspired by Green Tara Mantra, Rev. Glen Ganaway and poet Dominique Christina

I wish you could see what I see in you
When I look into
Your eyes.
Om Tare Tutarre Ture Soha

I wish that I could rescue You.
Please tell me what drove you to the ledge?
What happened that shattered your dreams?
Triggered your pain?
That now it plagues you?

I wish that I could.
convince you
that you don’t deserve to suffer.

I see your power in Your Eyes
They're the windows to your Soul.
Your eyes
Are the windows to your Soul.
Your Eyes
Are the windows to your Soul.
Oh oh oh

Do you see the footprints in the sand?
I'll carry you and your wounds.
Your healing is something we'll do...
Together -I'm sticking with you.

I want you to know
how holy you are.
how possible you are.
How beautiful.

I see it in your eyes
They're the Windows to your Soul.
your eyes
Are the Windows to your Soul.
your eyes
Are the Windows to your Soul.
Oh oh oh

Om Tare Tutarre Ture Svaha -

I wish you could see what I see in you
When I look into
Your eyes.

(Tare means: Mother Tara liberates living beings from samsara, from true suffering, or problems. The second word, Tuttare, liberates you from the eight fears, ignorance, attachment, anger, pride, jealousy, miserliness, doubt and wrong views. The third word Ture, liberates you from disease. The actual disease we have is ignorance not knowing the absolute nature of the I, and all the disturbing thoughts that arise from this ignorance… By liberating us from disease, Ture actually liberates us from the true cause, disturbing thoughts, and also the true sufferings. The rough meaning for these three words Tare Tuttare Ture is: “To you, embodiment of all the Buddhas’ actions, I prostrate always – whether I am in happy or unhappy circumstances – with my body, speech and mind.”
–The final word Soha means establishing the root of the path within your heart. In other words, by taking refuge in Tara and doing Tara practice, you receive the blessings of Tara in your own heart. The gives you space to establish the root of the path, signified by Tare Tuttare Ture, in your heart. By establishing the path of the three capable beings within your heart, you purify all impurities of your body, speech and mind, and achieve Tara’s pure vajra holy body, holy speech and holy mind, which are signified by om. Your body, speech and mind are transformed into Tara’s holy body, holy speech and holy mind. This is the rough meaning of om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha.)
