Lyrics inspired by chapter 1 of the Dhammapada. Vocal with solo guitar.

lyrics

We are what we think
Our thoughts create our worlds
Speak impurely, act impurely,
and trouble is part of you, like the wheels on a car.

We are what we think
Our thoughts create our worlds
Speak purely, act purely,
and happiness follows you like a shadow.

Hatred has never been ended by hatred
Hatred can only be ended by love

She abused me, she defeated me, he robbed me, he beat me,
dwell on such thoughts and be imprisoned by hatred.

He abused me, he defeated me, she robbed me, she beat me,
abandon such thoughts and be rescued by love.

Hatred has never been ended by hatred
Hatred can only be ended by love ...

Now and forever this will be and was
