Imam Ghazzali!  Ibn al-Arabi!  Jalaludin Rumi!
Got wisdom up the wazz!  It's bound to renew me!

When I saw you dervish dancin' on your Persian carpet
I knew I had to have you as my spiritual prophet
I used to think Scientology was where it's at
Then you turned your face to me, I became a Sufi cat

I'm a madman for your love, I'm as crazy as a loon
If you'll be my Layla, baby, I will be your Majnun
Sufi girl, you really got my baraka flowin'
O, Sufi girl, where are you from and where are you goin'?
 

I think I got a handle on my crazy monkey
Then you look at me like I'm sittin' backwards on my donkey
Usin' m' prayer beads to count my ev'ry breath
If you'll only show me how, I'll die before my death

Don't just feed me for a day, gotta teach me how to fish
My head is spinnin' faster than a whirlin' dervish
Sufi girl, you really got my baraka flowin'
O, Sufi girl, where are you from and where are you goin'?
 

They say, "Speak to each man accordin' to his understandin'."
Just say one word to me, I know my consciousness will start expandin'
I been searchin' everywhere, gotta find the truth somehow
Been livin' in the future, livin' in the past -- gotta be here now

I'm fastin' and I'm prayin' 'til I don't know where I am
Your wine has got me drunker than Omar Khayyam
Sufi girl, you really got my baraka flowin'
O, Sufi girl, where are you from and where are you goin'?
 

Got so much to learn, I don't know where to start
I'm a drop in the ocean, you're an elephant in the dark
Ya turn me upside down, I don't know where I stand
But if you show me the way, I'll be a completed man

Any friend of God's a friend of mine
I'm in the caravan, don't leave me behind
Sufi girl, you really got my baraka flowin'
O, Sufi girl, where are you from and where are you goin'?
