A.
Step by step we move on as the shadows grow long Climbing mountains crossing streams and distant lands
From the peak of life’s road and through the darkest moments
A golden light is shining of faith and compassion
B.
Rise up, Close your eyes, Buddha come to me!
Rise up, Close your eyes, Buddha lights the world!
C1.
I With your light, I grow stronger day by day, With your light, there’s nothing now to fear!
Because of you, I feel stronger
With your beacon at my side,
I want to say out loud, Good to have you!!
C2.
I With your light, I grow stronger day by day, With your light, there’s nothing now to fear!
My grateful heart knows we’re connected, As you guide me to happiness
I just have to say, Good to have you, by my side!!
