Lyrics:
Verse 1:
In a moment so profound , the light began to shine,
From the space between his eyes, oh, a vision so divine,
Eighteen hundred thousand lands, in the eastern skies,
Lit up from Avīci’s depths to the furthest starry highs.

Chorus:
Oh, that light, it shines so bright,
Reaching every soul in sight,
From the hells to heavens high,
Bringing truth, oh, clear as night.

Verse 2:
Buddhas in those distant lands, teachings loud and clear,
Monks and nuns and yogis too, all their paths appear,
Every being, every soul, under that radiant beam,
All their journeys intertwined, like a river’s flowing stream.

Chorus:
Oh, that light, it shines so bright,
Reaching every soul in sight,
From the hells to heavens high,
Bringing truth, oh, clear as night.

Bridge:
Bodhisattvas, shining bright, with wisdom deep and strong,
Walking paths of love and light, where they all belong,
Jewels of Stupas, glowing gold, housing sacred lore,
Echoing the Buddha’s word, forever, evermore.

Verse 3:
Great Buddhas of the distant past, in Nirvana’s gentle sway,
Revealed in all their glory, as the light found its way,
That beam, it crossed the boundaries, of space and time so wide,
Showing every soul the path, where compassion does abide.

Chorus:
Oh, that light, it shines so bright,
Reaching every soul in sight,
From the hells to heavens high,
Bringing truth, oh, clear as night.

Outro:
In that sacred, shining moment, the cosmos came alive,
Every being, every land, in that light they did arrive,
With the Buddha’s wisdom guiding, in a dance so pure and true,
We’re all bound together, in that light, me and you.
