Kito Peters: Music

Buddha Burns Bright

(Kito Peters)
thoughts careening left and right
spin all day and i dream all night
i want to run and i itch to fight
buddha smiling out of sight

and i should be this way
i could be that one
i'm embarrassed
fear and longing
but buddha burns bright

inner raging at the west wing
i wonder what a love could bring
so many failures feel the sting
buddha in me still can sing

and i should be this way
i could be that one
i'm embarrassed
fear and longing
but buddha burns so bright

hear the whistle of the midnight train
i'm sucked down in sin again

tears in heaven mud below
see the blood on virgin snow
the river thaws and starts to flow
jesus winking as i go

and i should be this way
i could be that one
i'm embarrassed
fear and longing
but buddha burns so bright
