Inner peace,

(Verse 1)

He walked the dust of the earth, with eyes like a dawn,

Teaching the weary that the kingdom’s not gone.

Spoke of love for the lost, of mercy for sin,

Said the truth’s not out there, but born deep within.

They called Him the Son, they called Him the Way,

He knelt with the broken, and taught them to pray.

The Buddha found peace ‘neath a tree’s quiet call,

Two paths of compassion that mirror it all.

(Chorus)

Oh light for all beings, flame that won’t fade,

Love without borders, the truth that was made.

Whether God or Nirvana, the heart is the same,

Awakened in mercy, released from all shame.

(Verse 2)

He carried the cross, yet never the hate,

Turned pain into pardon, turned wrath into grace.

The Bodhisattva stays ‘til all souls are free,

And Jesus said, “Follow — do likewise with me.”

No temple of silver, no sermon of pride,

Just stillness and service and hearts open wide.

The truth isn’t owned, it flows like a stream,

Through prophets and poets and all who still dream.

(Chorus)

Oh light for all beings, flame that won’t fade,

Love without borders, the truth that was made.

Whether God or Nirvana, the heart is the same,

Awakened in mercy, released from all shame.

(Bridge)

So I sit in the silence, where both voices meet,

The Christ and the Buddha at peace at my feet.

They whisper of freedom, they whisper of care,

They whisper that heaven was always right there.

(Final Chorus)

Oh light for all beings, flame that won’t fade,

Love without borders, the truth that was made.

Call Him Savior or Teacher, it’s all one refrain,

Awakened in mercy — and love is His name.
