The Middle Way

Oh, ooh Oh, yeah Oh, oh Oh… Wake up to the sunlight Steam from my kopi in the air Mama's little altar, just exploring Simple prayer, I bow with my two hands Feel my rushing mind slow down in this moment Greeting, feet on the floor, heart on the ground I'm just walking the middle way Step by step, day by day Holding kindness like a flame When the wind blows, I stay Got the Buddha in my heart today Every smile, every word I say Let the Dhamma light the way I'm just walking the middle way (Oh yeah) Ooh yeah Traffic in the fast lane, someone cuts in Heat in my chest, heat in my chest Take a breath and let go Wish them safety, wish them rest Always chasing the next thing Likes and numbers on a screen I'm learning to want less Still be happy, still at peace I'm just walking the middle way Step by step, day by day Holding kindness like a flame When the wind blows, I stay Got the Buddha in my heart today Every smile, every word I say Let the Dhamma light the way I'm just walking the middle way (Hey, hey, hey) When I fall, I bow, I rise Turn my worries into wise Every sorry heals my pride Letting go but feeling alive Found it fast, practice Time all just passing like flies These shifting sands I can see That's where love learns to be free I'm just walking the middle way Step by step, day by day (Oh) Holding kindness like a flame (Oh) When the wind blows, I stay Got the Buddha in my heart today Every smile, every word I say Let the Dhamma light the way I'm just walking the middle way (Middle way, middle way) I'm just walking the middle way Ooh, ooh I'm just walking the middle way
