"Guru" lyrics - ALANIS MORISSETTE

ALANIS MORISSETTE
"Guru"

I started young
I was enthralled
By your agape
As a student
I kept going
Colour me captured
Disillusioned enough
Needed your guidance
And so I turned
Over to you
To lead me home

And then I said

[Chorus:]
Guru teacher
Guruji I bow to you
Humbled by your knowledgeable education
Guruji I bow to the divine in you
Please consider me your utmost humble student

And so I fell
Under your spell
I was enraptured
Your every word
I held onto
Til it was gospel
You weren't deterred
From your asserts
We're identical
I will admit
I saw your face
Inside my face

[Chorus:]
Guru teacher
Guruji I bow to you
Humbled by your knowledgeable education
Guruji I bow to the divine in you
Please consider me your utmost humble student

[Souleye Rap]

You had enough of subservience, and so you stopped me
You saw my light seen as your light, gave it back to me
I eventually saw that your jewel was in my pocket
It had been there the whole time throughout my search
And I finally saw

[Chorus:]
Guru teacher
Guruji I bow to you
Humbled by your knowledgeable education
Guruji I bow to the divine in you
Please consider me your utmost humble student
Guru teacher
Guruji I bow to you
Humbled by your knowledgeable education
Guruji I bow to the divine in you
Please consider me your utmost humble student
