SLEEPING BUDDHAS from Jazz Cat by Arch Rockfeller

SLEEPING BUDDHAS

Sleeping Buddhas, waiting to awake
However many lifetimes it may take
Liberated just as soon as karma will allow
We make our future with the things that we do now

Sleeping Buddhas, restless like the tide
We search the whole world for the light inside
As we blunder, treading on each other's pride and toes
Why not laugh and see if patience grows?

Sleeping Buddhas make up a community
The noisy neighbor who bugs you no end
Believe it or not, has got a best friend

They each have to live with themselves
The whole day through
And aren't we all Sleeping Buddhas too?

Sleeping Buddhas, what an opportunity
For compassion to come bursting out
Illuminate joy, eliminate doubt

Maybe one day we'll awaken, and like the sun
Have the light to shine on everyone
