[Intro]

[verse]

I look at the mountains, the lines on the land

Mother Earth is waiting, holding my hand

A heart-shaped cloud appears in the blue

The Tao is showing its love so true

I feel the embrace of the wind and the rain

Your silent companion washes my pain

The masters and Buddhas, your teachings so bright

Awakened my soul and gave me the light

[chorus]

Thank you for staying right by my side

In the temple of my heart, you never hide

The love of the Tao is guiding me home

A long journey ended, no more will I roam

Thank you for holding me safe and warm

Mother Earth sheltered me through the storm

May you be happy, peaceful and free

This song of gratitude lives in me

[verse]

In every breath of the trees so green

The greatest love that I’ve ever seen

You are always here, you are everywhere

I bow my head in a silent prayer

[chorus]

Thank you for staying right by my side

In the temple of my heart, you never hide

The love of the Tao is guiding me home

A long journey ended, no more will I roam

Thank you for holding me safe and warm

Mother Earth sheltered me through the storm

May you be happy, peaceful and free

This song of gratitude lives in me

[bridge]

The mountains remain, the clouds still fly

I love you, my teachers, under the sky

I’m finally home, my heart is at rest

Deep in the Tao, I am truly blessed...
