Lyrics:

Verse 1:
On a quest to find the truth,
A traveler set her sights on youth,
Faced a path so dark and wild,
Lost and weary, yet still she smiled.

Chorus:
Faith is a lamp that lights the way,
Understanding shows where to stay,
Through every trial, through every fear,
Faith and wisdom bring the truth near.

Verse 2:
Then she met a sage so wise,
With gentle voice and knowing eyes,
“Faith and understanding deep,” he said,
“Will guide you true, wherever you tread.”

Chorus:
Faith is a lamp that lights the way,
Understanding guides the sway,
Through every trial, through every fear,
Faith and wisdom bring the truth near.

Bridge:
Years went by, the road was long,
The traveler learned to be strong,
Each step a lesson, each turn a sign,
Faith and knowledge would intertwine.

Verse 3:
At last, she found the truth so clear,
The ultimate goal was always near,
The sage was the Buddha, a guide so true,
Faith and understanding saw her through.

Chorus:
Faith is a lamp that lights the way,
Understanding guides the sway,
Through every trial, through every fear,
Faith and wisdom bring the truth near.

Outro:
Faith and understanding forever true,
Guide us all in all we do.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Heavens,
how troubles have multiplied,
Many rise
against inner peace.
They say there's no
wisdom to find,
No help
in the mind's eye,
they believe.

[Chorus]
But you, 
O Lord,
my protector,
Lift the spirit
of my understanding.
I call upon
Heaven’s wisdom,
And it guides me
from its peak.

[Verse 2]
I lay down
in meditation's embrace,
And arose again,
the Lord sustains.
I will not fear
the countless illusions,
Surrounding me,
I'll remain unfazed.

[Chorus]
But you, 
O Lord,
my protector,
Lift the spirit
of my understanding.
I call upon
Heaven’s wisdom,
And it guides me
from its peak.

[instrumental]

I will not fear
the countless illusions,
Surrounding me,
I'll remain unfazed.
But you, 
O Lord,
my protector,
Lift the spirit
of my understanding.
I call upon
Heaven’s wisdom,
And it guides me
from its peak.

[instrumental]

[Bridge]
Arise, 
O Lord,
help me, 
my wisdom,
Dispel all delusions
in my mind.
You shatter the ignorance
of the unwise,
In liberation,
true peace I find.

[Verse 3]
Liberation is found
in wisdom's light,
Your blessings
on those in tune.
With inherent wisdom,
we take flight,
In the Lord's embrace,
we are renewed.

[Chorus]
But you, 
O Lord,
my protector,
Lift the spirit
of my understanding.
I call upon
Heaven’s wisdom,
And it guides me
from its peak.

[Outro]
In wisdom,
we find our liberation,
Blessings on those
who see.
With the Lord's light,
we conquer delusion,
Inherent wisdom
sets us free.

Beautiful Last Two Verses of Surah Al Baqarah

"Melody Inside My Soul" is a dreamy, mid-tempo psychedelic folk-rock ballad that drifts like a lucid dream between memory and destiny. Layered acoustic guitars shimmer with swirling delay and warm reverb, while ambient synths breathe and pulse like inner light. A hypnotic groove of analog bass and soft, brush-driven drums anchors the song in gentle motion, with echoing chimes, reversed cymbals, and hushed vocal murmurs adding a touch of neural distortion. The lyrics are a heartfelt ode to the inner song that guides through shadows and light—a melody that has always been known, whispering hope, truth, and timeless connection.

Melody Inside My Soul

“My Dead Friends” by Marie Howe

I have begun,
when I’m weary and can’t decide an answer to a bewildering question

to ask my dead friends for their opinion
and the answer is often immediate and clear.

Should I take the job? Move to the city? Should I try to conceive a child
in my middle age?

They stand in unison shaking their heads and smiling—whatever leads
to joy, they always answer,

to more life and less worry. I look into the vase where Billy’s ashes were —
it’s green in there, a green vase,

and I ask Billy if I should return the difficult phone call, and he says, yes.
Billy’s already gone through the frightening door,

whatever he says I’ll do.

I Have Begun
