[Refrain]
Oh, the strength of kindness builds my home,
Forbearance clothes me, I’m not alone.
In peaceful arms, I find the light,
Truth and love gonna guide my fight.

[Verse 1]
Dreadful times are comin’, I can see,
Men so wicked, bound by greed.
Mockin’ truth, but we’ll stand tall,
Spread this Sūtra to one and all.

[Refrain]
Oh, the strength of kindness builds my home,
Forbearance clothes me, I’m not alone.
In peaceful arms, I find the light,
Truth and love gonna guide my fight.

[Verse 2]
They’ll come with lies, they’ll tear us down,
Twistin’ words to spread their sound.
But the girdle of patience keeps me whole,
For the Chief of the world, I’ll give my soul.

[Bridge] (Instrumental—guitar solo)

[Verse 3]
Evil monks with hearts so cold,
Preach for profit, chasin’ gold.
But we’ll endure, through stick and stone,
Our hearts in truth, we’re never alone.

[Refrain]
Oh, the strength of kindness builds my home,
Forbearance clothes me, I’m not alone.
In peaceful arms, I find the light,
Truth and love gonna guide my fight.

[Verse 4]
Body or life, we won’t defend,
The Sūtra’s flame, we’ll never bend.
Through towns and lands, we’ll spread His name,
Proclaim the truth, and light the flame.

[Refrain – Repeat Twice]
Oh, the strength of kindness builds my home,
Forbearance clothes me, I’m not alone.
In peaceful arms, I find the light,
Truth and love gonna guide my fight.

[Outro – Slow Fade]
Guide my fight, oh, guide my fight,
Truth and love, in the peaceful light…
