More verses:

The rapid fire section:

Arms out, head back. Ready for the sunrise.

Wind speaks from the East, come to the feast.
Quarter turn clockwise, hands to the sky
Sing from the South, never burn out
Turn another forty-five, finger wave energize,
Love from the west, medicine chest
Rotate once more, palms to the dry floor
Hands from the North, seeds to the Earth.

Earring, nose ring, lip ring, wedding ring.

Weather men guess what clouds and winds bring
Monacle, bracelet, arm band handcuff
And I can’t get enough of watching hooping looping
And all surprises bringing
No beginning and there was no end
That’s why I’m singing

Melodic verse:

Through four renunciations, attain perfection

Leave life without regret, expect no reward

Keep comin’ round and repeat repeat repeat
