ジョンの楽曲の中でも特に歌詞が印象的な作品で、"words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup" という一節が浮かんだ後、しばらく考えた末に一気に書き上げた、とジョン自身は語っている。繰り返し歌われるマントラは「Jai Guru Deva Om…『我らが導師、神に勝利あれ』」の意。詩作には松尾芭蕉の影響が指摘されることもある。

Words are flying out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass They slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy are drifting thorough my open mind
Possessing and caressing me
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes
That call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box
they tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Sounds of laughter shades of life
are ringing through my open ears
exciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which
shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
