You carry all the ingredients to turn your life into a nightmare.

Don't mix them.

You have all the genius to build a swing in your backyard for God.

That sounds like a hell a lot more fun.

Let's start laughing,

Drawing blueprints,

Gathering our talented friends.

I will help you with my divine lair and drum.

Hafiz will sing a thousand words you can take into your hands,

Like golden saws,

Silver hammers,

Polished teak wood,

Strong silk rope.

You carry all the ingredients to turn your existence into joy.

Mix them.

Mix them.
