You're the Buddha - Howard Jones

There were times when I thought there was nothin' in this world

There was nothin' in this world for me

Everywhere I looked there was trouble in my life

Trouble far as I could see

Hey there’s a man doin' alright

What’s his philosophy?

He come over here and whispered in my ear

You’re the Buddha, you’re the Christ

You’re the Mohammed, and the Mother Mary

So who am I so nervous and shy

To be brilliant and talented

It’s the light not the dark that frightens us most

And the power lies in our head

You playin' small doesn’t help at all

The world need the things you give

Switch yourself on, turn the pressure on

You’re the Buddha, you’re the Christ

You’re the Mohammed, and the Mother Mary

There are times when I think there’s plenty in this world

There’s plenty in this world for me

Anytime I see trouble in my life

It becomes an opportunity

Now there’s a chance to make the world dance

You do it unconsciously

Help this Winter turn into Spring

You’re the Buddha, you’re the Christ

You’re the Mohammed, and the Mother Mary
