Om Shanti
Edo Jo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I woke up to the light of the earth, there was people dancing, people singing
Om Shanti, Om
Om Shanti, Om
Om Shanti, Om

I put on my fisherman pants and I left the city, left it for some
Om Shanti, Om
Om Shanti, Om

Made it to the riverside, there was freedom waving, holding out some
Om Shanti, Om
Om Shanti, Om

And in the times of silence in my head I open to the emptiness
That only sees everything that′s grace
Let's open to the emptiness

Let′s open to togetherness of
Om Shanti, Om
Om Shanti, Om

The seasons charge but we are here
The stars spin but we'll remain
The earth will shake and the seas will soar
The world will end, but we'll remain in

Om Shanti, Om
Om Shanti, Om
Om Shanti, Om

Om Shanti, Om

Om Shanti, Om
Om Shanti, Om

What a beautiful song! I heard you both play together 9.5 years ago at a blissful yoga studio when you came to visit Byron. I was pregnant and then I listened to your CD a lot when my daughter was a baby.
Last week I heard a couple playing this song while in labour (I’m now a student midwife). It was so moving to hear this beautiful music again. Much love and blessings.
May Jo’s memory be a blessing.

I am so deeply grateful to them for creating music that touches the soul in such a special way. May Jo's soul be blessed in the eternity.
