The Buddha Face
Deep
in the night stars are falling, falling
Echoes thru my soul are calling, calling
Moonlight on water softly glistens
With my whole body I listen, listen
I feel my heart start to open, open
With that one word that is spoken
I lay down my sword and I surrender
Into the void of forgiveness I enter
I float upon a silver sea
Where no one's been, not even me
So calm that tide is never seen
In silver blue, in silver green
The universe is with me there
The breath of life mingled with the air
And the sun and stars and space
All these things, the Buddha face
Deep in my soul I feel a yearning
Always it's there, to be returning
Back to the journey that's never begun
Where everything in creation is one
On waters of endless love I travel
Perceptions and judgments start to unravel
Fears and illusions falling behind
Like soft grains of sand that slip thru my mind
I float upon a silver sea
Where no one's been, not even me
So calm that tide is never seen
In silver blue, in silver green
The universe is with me there
The breath of life mingled with the air
And the sun and stars and space
All these things, the Buddha face
