The Lotus Light

[Verse 1]
Morning bells are softly ringing,
Golden light that wakes the dawn,
Threefold truth the ages singing,
On this day the veil is drawn.
Lotus petals start to open,
Footsteps echo on the stone,
In the stillness, hearts awaken,
Walking forward, not alone.

[Pre-Chorus]
Lay down the weight of yesterday,
Let kindness be the only way,
The Bodhi tree still shades the mind,
Where peace and wisdom now align.

[Chorus]
Oh Wesak light, shine on us all,
Hear the gentle temple call.
Through birth, awakening, and release,
We find the path to lasting peace.
May every heart find quiet grace,
May compassion guide the human race.
On Wesak day, we bow and see,
The Buddha lives in you and me.

[Verse 2]
Lanterns float upon the river,
Carrying our hopes inside,
Every breath a quiet giver,
Every step a mindful stride.
Strangers meet as friends and kin,
Divisions fade where love begins,
Underneath the canopy,
We walk as one, awake and free.

[Pre-Chorus]
Lay down the weight of yesterday,
Let kindness be the only way,
The Bodhi tree still shades the mind,
Where peace and wisdom now align.

[Chorus]
Not in temples, not in statues,
But in the mercy we’ve embodied,
In every hand that lifts the weak,
In every gentle word we speak.
The Dharma flows like rivers wide,
With nothing left to run and hide,
When the mind is clear and still,
Awakening is with us still.
[Instrumental Interlude]
(Soft strings, light frame drum, space for breath or optional chanting)

[Chorus]
(Repeat Chorus chords & lyrics)
[Outro]
Wesak day, the lotus blooms,
Peaceful hearts dispel the gloom,
Bowing low, we take the vow,
To walk in love, here and now.
Shanti, shanti, peace to all,
Hear the quiet, gentle call…
Wesak light… forever bright…
Walking gently… into the light.
(Fade out with soft bell tones, 2-3 seconds of ambient silence)
