Just a little beyond my grasp
I imagine myself a tower
With the pinnacle in my hand
And so I rise
In heart and soul
Astride the vision
Of an elevated spirit
He locks up
With a willful hope
A dream from another life
From another time
Perhaps the children
Will still be awake
With their sparkling eyes
So he hurries home
On a wish and a prayer
Even a drowsy hug is a tonic
As I grew more confident
In being vulnerable
I began to understand
The strength in vulnerability
Such are the conditions
Of beautiful perfections
A smile to say
“Goodnight, my friend”
Then again to
Welcome morning
In the darkness
Protect the gate
From those who carry
Cans of paint
I am just a pilgrim
Saffron shows my devotion
Ain’t afraid of no hard road
Fill my heart with passion
Walk thru the fire
Fly thru the fear
See the signs along the path
Though the end remains unclear
Walk in mindful silence
See what breath can do
Walk on rainbow splinters
Leave behind gurus
Seek it, you will find it, seek, seek
Walk on rainbow splinters
‘Til I Wake Up ,’Til I Wake Up, ‘Til I Wake Up ,’Til I Wake Up
I breathe in the light
Exhale the darkness
Pride begins to fade
And I forget the malice
Balance light and dark
Rising from the gutter
Melt my pain like butter
And my heart begins to flutter
Seek it, you will find it, seek, seek
Walk on rainbow splinters
Seek it, you will find it, seek, seek
Walk on rainbow splinters
‘Til I Wake Up ,’Til I Wake Up, ‘Til I Wake Up ,’Til I Wake Up
Seek it, you will find it, seek, seek
Walk on rainbow splinters
Gautama Buddha
Come along on my journey
Bring your Dharmakaya, your Sambhogakaya, your Nirmanakaya
And your 500 lives
The illuminating candle
Apsaras, guiding angels
Gautama Buddha
Gautama Buddha
Bodhisattva of compassion
Master who taught the light
With you Gautama
With you Gautama
‘Til I Wake Up ,’Til I Wake Up, ‘Til I Wake Up ,’Til I Wake Up
‘Til I Wake Up ,’Til I Wake Up, ‘Til I Wake Up ,’Til I Wake Up
Seek it, you will find it, seek, seek
Walk on rainbow splinters
Seek it, you will find it, seek, seek
Walk on rainbow splinters
Gautama Buddha
Shining on the river of light….
