Distant Past - Dawn City Lyrics

A small world where people go to evolve
Without being torn apart by their worldly needs
They want to be free and turn towards the divine
An aspiration to urge for something truer

Auroville belongs to no one in particular
A bridge between the worlds, the future and the past
Unending education and constant progression
The true embodiment of unity

No money, no government - No laws, no religion

This unique place where youth never ages
The foundation of a life that never judges you
Come and open your heart, body, and soul
You're living free in unconditional harmony

Let go of all preconceptions
And open up to a new society
Your life will never be the same
Ascending in the city of the dawn

We belong to no nation, to no civilisation
We obey to no master, to no social convention
The divine we're searching with all our will and inner self
It's not sacrificing, if it's for eternal delight

A self-selected exile, a professed utopia
A new age metropolis, a stateless state, that's where you are

It's a modification of terrestrial creation
We're transforming into something non-conforming
Expressions of all our consciousnesses
Leads to the shore of our next species

No fences surrounding us, no leaders suppressing us
An alternative way of living to work out the power of the divine

They all come to seek a cure
The healed ones are leaving, the rest is still searching
Can we be certain that they'll ever find
Proclaimed consciousness beyond the mind

Higher learning has to unfold
And reveal what already has been in us
Open yourself to joy and harmony
Like a flower opens up to the sun above

True self is the purest teacher
To withhold one minds paradox
Change perception and change reality
Come and live with us in dawn city
