Lyrics by Sr Dang Nghiem

The sky is deeper blue today
Because I have awareness
The trees are more alive today
As I breathe in the greenness

Lyric by Thich Nhat Hanh

Rivers flow through me
Sunshine is my morning tea
Body, harmony
Feelings, clouds in the sky
Perceptions, stones on the road
Mental formations, birds are singing...
Singing songs of freedom, freedom
Consciousness, deep blue sea,
Wash over me

Lyrics by Sr Jewel (using quotes from Thich Nhat Hanh)

(Note "There is no Way to Peace , Peace is the Way" is a quote from A J Muste)

There is no way to peace.  Peace is the way.
There is no way to freedom.  Freedom is the way.
There is no way to happiness.  Happiness is the way.

Peace is in the here and now.  Peace is the way.
In every breath, in every step, peace is the way.
When I wake up, it’s right there waiting.  Peace is the way.
Smiling, saying, “Take my hand.”  Peace is the way.
“Don’t look for me in the future.  You can have me right now, right now.”

Lyric by Thich Nhat Hanh

Peace to the newborn babe.
Peace to the sinner and the saved.
Peace to the one not yet born.
Peace to the weary and war-torn.

All lay your head down to rest. (2x)

Lyrics by Sr The Nghiem

(No wait...) No wait for me... to change your life.
Look to the miracle... going on inside you.
You are the farmer.  You are your field.
Tend to your land... and grow your freedom.

(No wait...) In each, a flower unfurling
A flower... unfurling

Lyrics by Sr The Nghiem

Whatever illumines your path, I will consider as my friend.
There are no enemies, no barriers in the heart.
There is only wishing you well.

Your joy is my joy, my joy is your joy.
Your joy is my joy, for sure.

This is the song in my heart, sing along, sing along.
This is the song in my heart, sing along.

Lyrics by Irene D'Auria

In gratitude you have watered
Seed of love in me
In gratitude
In gratitude I will water
Seed of love in someone too
I know you’re there for me
And I am so happy

I am a cloud, I am the blue sky
I am a bird spreading out its wings
I am a flower, I am the sunshine
I am the earth receiving a seed

Lyric by Thich Nhat Hanh

Light in this candle
Offering light to countless Buddha
The peace and joy I feel
Brighten the face of the earth

Lyric by Thich Nhat Hanh

Hearing the bell
I let go of all my afflictions
My heart is calm
my sorrow ended
no longer bound to anything
I learn to listen to my suffering
And to the suffering of others
When understanding is born in me
Compassion is also born
