Verse 1:

Woke up this morning, with a clear and open mind,

Been walkin’ this path, leavin’ all my doubts behind.

Through the Lotus Sutra, and the Dharma’s ancient ways,

I’ve been searchin’ for the truth, in these meditative days.

Chorus:

I’ve got those Samadhi blues, feelin’ lighter than air,

Boundless awareness, takes me everywhere.

Seein’ all forms as they are, clear and true,

Livin’ in the moment, with these Samadhi blues.

Verse 2:

In the silence of my soul, distractions fade away,

Pure and undistracted, I find my way to stay.

Anilambha’s boundless sky, no anchor do I need,

Floating in awareness, my spirit has been freed.

Chorus:

I’ve got those Samadhi blues, feelin’ lighter than air,

Boundless awareness, takes me everywhere.

Seein’ all forms as they are, clear and true,

Livin’ in the moment, with these Samadhi blues.

Śūraṅgama whispers, all the teachings I retain,

Wisdom flows within me, like an endless pouring rain.

Embracing all the darkness, and turning it to light.

Every step I take now, is filled with peace and grace,

The echoes of enlightenment, shine upon my face.

Through dedication’s fire, I’ve walked this noble road,

Carrying the Dharma, to lighten others’ load.
