Lyrics:

  • and then the river ends ya leave the boat & find you’re walkin’
  • the boat is floating in your mind, although these words are talking
  • this seems a very good place to sit & rest a while before the chorus . . .

  • oh! & there’s a feeling comin’ to ya
  • oh! & then you’re smilin’ like a buddha

  • the music draws you up a valley, & across a mountain
  • ya gather round it like yer gathering around a fountain
  • & when the music is right, ya feel the spirit lockin’ . . .

  • oh! & there’s a feelin’ runnin’ through ya
  • oh! & yer smilin’ like a buddha

  • there is magic in the air & it can take ya higher
  • ya take a breath, ya breathe it in & then ya catch a flier
  • when ya wake up on the floor ya see a golden morning

  • oh! from your sandal to your stupa
  • oh! & yer smilin’ like a buddha

  • oh, while ya have the eyes
  • to look around
  • oh, while ya have the eyes
  • to carry into town
  • take the time to look
  • take the time to look . . . around

  • oh, while ya have the ears
  • to hear the sounds
  • oh, while ya have the ears
  • . . just hangin’ ’round
  • take the time to hear take the time to hear . . the sounds

  • & then yer seein’ in a light ya didn’t know was glowin’
  • & yer walkin’ in a stream ya didn’t know was flowin’
  • every beat of your heart open, love is formin’

  • oh! & there’s a feelin’ runnin’ through ya
  • oh! & then yer smilin’ like a buddha
  • oh! & there’s a feelin’ comin’ to ya
  • oh! & yer smilin’ like a buddha
