It's a hard lesson to learn,

Who's to bless and who's to blame?

It's a hard lesson to learn,

The boneyard and brickyard are the same,

It's a hard lesson to learn,

Living someone else's life,

It's a hard lesson to learn,

Fills your heart with trouble and strife,

Om Gathe Gathe Bara Gathe Bara Som Gathe Bodhi Svaha

Om Gathe Gathe Bara Gathe Bara Som Gathe Bodhi Svaha

Form is emptiness, emptiness is form,

In truth there's no deception,

No eye, no ear, no nose, no tongue,

No taste, no conception,

All rise and fall, do fade away,

The nature of phenomena,

Said the Bodhisattva, Mahasattva,

Avalokiteshvara,

Om Gathe Gathe Bara Gathe Bara Som Gathe Bodhi Svaha

Om Gathe Gathe Bara Gathe Bara Som Gathe Bodhi Svaha

Om Gathe Gathe Bara Gathe Bara Som Gathe Bodhi Svaha
