There were times when I thought there was nothin' in this world
|
There was nothin' in this world for me
|
Everywhere I looked there was trouble in my life
|
Trouble far as I could see
|
Hey there's a man doin' alright
|
What's his philosophy?
|
He come over here and whispered in my ear
|
|
You're the Buddha, you're the Christ,
|
You're the Mohammed, and the Mother Mary
|
|
So who am I so nervous and shy
|
To be brilliant and talented
|
It's the light not the dark that frightens us most
|
And the power lies in our head
|
You playin' small doesn't help at all
|
The world need the things you give
|
Switch yourself on, turn the pressure on
|
|
You're the Buddha, you're the Christ,
|
You're the Mohammed, and the Mother Mary
|
|
There are times when I think there's plenty in this world
|
There's plenty in this world for me
|
Anytime I see trouble in my life
|
It becomes an opportunity
|
Now there's a chance to make the world dance
|
You do it unconsciously
|
Help this Winter turn into Spring
|
|
You're the Buddha, you're the Christ,
|
You're the Mohammed, and the Mother Mary
|
|

YOU'RE THE BUDDHA
