Little Muniya, tell me, who am I?
World, oh world, reveal my identity.
Little Muniya, tell me, who am I?
World, oh world, reveal my identity.
Am I Alexander, a wandering saint, a master of the deep?
Or just a monkey, swinging free, a secret to keep?
Recognize, understand, who am I?
Recognize, understand, who am I?

This world, a caravan of masks we wear,
A stage where faces hide behind a stare.
The outer one, belonging to the crowd,
The inner one, where my true self is bowed.
Am I a gambler, a worshiper in light?
A beggar, a hunter, lost in darkest night?
Recognize, understand, who am I?
Little Muniya, tell me, who am I?
World, oh world, reveal my identity.
Am I Alexander, a wandering saint, a master of the deep?
Or just a monkey, swinging free, a secret to keep?
Recognize, understand, who am I?

Am I a toymaker, crafting dreams anew?
Or a magician, weaving spells for you?
Don't provoke me, don't press me too hard,
Or the tears will flow, the soul be scarred.
Am I a liar, or truth's burning flame?
A child, or an elder, whispering a name?
Recognize, understand, who am I?
Recognize, understand, who am I?
