The story of each one of us learning to love ourselfs, and discovering our true magnificence!
lyrics
I am what I am, and what I am is beautiful
Yes I am who I am, and whoI am,
is beautiful
And I cannot hide
These jewels I’ve got inside
I cannot hide, my jewels
(Rep x 2)
Because I am, what I am
And what I am is beautiful
Yes I am who I am and who I am
Is beautiful
And I will never stop shining
I will never forget to shine shine shine
(rep x 2)
So shine on like the rainbow that you are
Shine on child of the sun.
Shine on like the galaxies,
The essence of the sand and sea
Were only free when we chose to see
That we, are beautiful.
The wanderer stops beneath a tree, looks to her right and who does she see? The Buddha smiling quietly, surrendered in the depths of peace. The seeker approaches the feet of the teacher, and she knows who his is
And as she approaches the feet of the teacher
He knows that words are not the way to reach her
so he sits in silence, and the wanderer, begins to weep
She says I’ve searched the mountains, the valleys and planes
The oceans the forests the trees and the caves
And not in one place did I find a trace of that which brings me peace.
The Buddha laughed, the seeker cried,
He remembered when his ego died, and when he lost his form, and was reborn.
Into nothing and everything.
Well he opened his mouth and his lips began to sing… and he sang
Aum mane padme hung(X 3)
Behold the jewel in the heart of the lotus, behold the jewel in your heart
Why search through the universe when the universe inside you abides(X2)
Human child, its your purpose to shine.
Well the seeker walked away,
Confounded bye the events of the day, and all she could do was sing that tune, she sang Aum Mane Padme Hung
And she said I am what I am and what I am is beautiful
I am who I am and who I am is beautiful
