Lyrics
I LEFT SAN FRANCISCO IN THE FALL
FOR THE TRAILS, THE TRAILS OF NEPAL
I LEFT MY FRIENDS & FAMILY
I LEFT MY HOME & SANITY
I LEFT MY MAKEUP & VANITY
FOR THE TRAILS OF NEPAL
I LEFT MY CITY DEPRESSION
I LEFT MY EARTHLY POSSESSIONS
I LEFT MY MORAL OBSESSIONS
FOR THE TRAILS OF NEPAL
CHANTING
I LEFT MY FRIENDS & FAMILY
I LEFT YOU BUT I SURE MISS YOUR COMPANY
I LEFT MY MAKEUP AND VANITY
FOR THE TRAILS OF NEPAL
BASMA YA BASMA YA BASMA
FAYNIK YA BASMA YA BASMA
BASMA YA BASMA YA BASMA
FAYN ROUHTEE YA BASMA YA BASMA
I LEFT MY JUDGMENTS AT THE DOOR
I LEFT THE RICH, I LEFT THE POOR
I LEFT THE VOICES THAT IMPLORE
I LEFT THE FEAR TO EXPLORE
I LEFT MY EGO & MY ID
I LEFT MY "YOU DID IT! NO, YOU DID!"
I LEFT MY ADULT & MY KID
PICK ME UP WHEN I FALL
FOR THE TRAILS OF NEPAL
SHUKRAN YA BASMA YA BASMA
RIJATT AL BASMA YA BASMA
SHUKRAN YA BASMA YA BASMA
RIJATT AL BASMA YA BASMA
