       A Thousand Buddhas 
      In the field of 
        a thousand buddhas 
        There's a thousand brilliant dreams 
        With a thousand rainbows arching 
        Over a thousand sparkling streams. 
      On a thousand deep-green hilltops 
        The thousand flower blooms 
        Against a sky of a thousand stars 
        And a thousand milk-white moons 
      There's a thousand smiles playing 
        On a thousand joyful faces 
        With a thousand sunbeams dancing 
        In a thousand sun-lit places 
      There's a thousand dew-drops glinting 
        On a thousand blades of grass 
        And a thousand precious moments 
        Will surely come to pass.
