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.
