[Verse]
Saat hati meronta
Menjerit putus asa
Tersungkur di dasar
Marah dan kesal menyambar
Diriku benar adanya
Dirinya salah menilai
Segalanya sia sia
Tanpa harap hanya asa
[Pre Chorus]
Dengarkan pesan Semesta:
Ijinkan dirimu berhenti sejenak
Terhubung kembali dalam diri
[Chorus]
Sesungguhnya tidak pernah nyata adanya
Hitam dan Putih
Gelap dan Terang
Benar dan salah, baik dan buruk
yang saling meniadakan
Karena semua hanyalah persepsi
Sudut pandang yang berbeda
Dua yang tak pernah ada
[Verse]
Bagaimana mungkin terpisah amarah
Bila diriku adalah dirinya
Dan dirinya adalah diriku
Yang tersesatkan oleh ilusi
Terjebak dalam dualitas ini
Terbenam dalam cinta diri
Meniadakan yang tak pernah ada
Merenggut harap yang tersisa
Pre chorus
Dengarkan pesan Semesta:
Ijinkan dirimu berhenti sejenak
Terhubung kembali dalam diri
[Chorus]
Sesungguhnya tidak pernah nyata adanya
Hitam dan Putih
Gelap dan Terang
Benar dan salah, baik dan buruk
yang saling meniadakan
Karena semua hanyalah persepsi
Sudut pandang yang berbeda
Dua yang tak pernah ada
(Bridge]
Hitam putih, baik dan buruk
Dualitas cara pandang semata
Yang sejatinya adalah satu
Melampaui ilusi dan yang nyata
[Outro]
Sesungguhnya tak ada yang berbeda
Semua adalah satu
Melampaui ilusi dan yang nyata
Dua yang tak pernah ada
Dua yang tak pernah ada
[end]

Living At Large

Dharma Blues

Inspired by the opening verses of Chapter 10 of the Lotus Sūtra, "Dharma Blues" is my personal take on a truth that has resonated deeply. It's a song born from the recognition that suffering and joy are not separate, and that even in a world filled with strife, the "eyes of the Buddha" can show us the way to peace. With a sound that recalls the classic folk and blues artists I've always loved, this is a song for anyone on their own path to awakening.

Lyrics: 

Verse 1
Woke up this mornin’, sun hangin’ high,
Old trouble still driftin’, cloudin’ my eye.
Thought this world was only hurt and fight,
Till the Dharma whispered a deeper light:
“Look a little closer, hear what I say—
Equality and difference will guide your way.”

Chorus
Oh, the Buddha’s eyes see clear and true,
Through joy and sorrow, through me and you.
The world keeps turnin’, but my vision can,
From a restless drifter to a peaceful man.
I’ll keep this sutra close, steady in my hand,
Offerings of heart for this promised land.

Harmonica break
(low, train-whistle bends—hope rising through blue haze)

Verse 2
I once saw mountains and valleys divide,
Thought every soul had a place to hide.
But the same wind sings through every green tree,
The same sun’s shinin’ on you and on me.
Each of us carries a heavy old load,
Yet we walk one ground on the same long road.

Chorus (repeat)

Verse 3
This world’s a burning house, fire in the beams,
Desires climbing like half-woken dreams.
But Medicine King showed the cure inside:
A joy unbroken, a truth that abides.
Unlock that wisdom, let illusions fall—
No place to run, yet no need at all.

Chorus (repeat)

Bridge
It ain’t gold or silver you set on the shrine,
But time and mercy, a heart aligned.
So I’ll honor the keepers who bear this flame,
Bow my head softly, praise their name.

Final Chorus / Outro
Oh, the Buddha’s eyes see clear and true…
(last line lingers)
Offerings of heart—that’s what I bring,
Let the truth of the Dharma make my spirit sing.
Harmonica fades like a night train gone,
Leaving quiet dawn to carry the song.

Welcome to the musical world of The William Altig Choir, where ancient wisdom meets contemporary sound.

Inspired by the teachings of the Lotus Sutra and infused with deep spiritual themes, my music blends the rich traditions of blues and folk with modern elements, creating a unique fusion that resonates with both the heart and soul.

I've been captivated by the Lotus Sutra's messages of compassion, wisdom, and transformation since my youth. It's a journey of self-discovery that has found its voice in my music. Each song is a reflection of my own spiritual awakening and a celebration of universal truths.

My style is characterized by emotive storytelling, powerful lyrics, and a commitment to exploring the depths of human experience. Featuring contemplative blues, acoustic slide guitar, saxophone melodies, and the harmonies of a gospel choir, my music reflects a quest for enlightenment and a better understanding of the self.

Join me on this musical journey. Together, we can explore the teachings of the Lotus Sutra, finding solace, hope, and a deeper connection to the world around us.
