Lyrics

Long ago a teacher spoke
Of a path to end our pain
Wisdom lighting up the mind
Like sunlight after rain

Understanding what is true
Seeing life the way it is
Right intention guides the heart
Toward compassion and toward peace

Walk the path of wisdom
Step by step each day
Eightfold path of learning
Guiding us along the way

Right understanding
Right intention too
Right speech and right action
In everything we do

Right livelihood we choose with care
Right effort strong and kind
Right mindfulness to see each breath
Awake in heart and mind

Right concentration growing deep
Calm and steady light
Eightfold path of wisdom
Leading us to what is right

Walk the path of wisdom
Step by step each day
Eightfold path of learning
Guiding us along the way

Right understanding
Right intention too
Right speech and right action
In everything we do

Right livelihood
Right effort strong
Right mindfulness and focus
Where our hearts belong
