[Lyrics:]

[Verse 1]
In caves and woods, I wandered lost
Pondering the teachings, feeling tossed  
Bodhisattvas praised, my heart would ache
Had I missed the path I longed to take?

[Chorus]
But then the Buddha's wisdom shone
Dispelling doubts, my fears all gone  
The wondrous law, profound and true
Awakening in me, a vision new

[Verse 2] 
No more shall Mara's lies deceive
The Buddha's truth, I now perceive  
A destiny so grand unfolds
A future as a Buddha foretold

[Bridge]
In distant kalpas, I shall rise
Padmaprabha, Radiant Lotus wise
In Viraga, a land so pure  
Where Dharma's light will long endure

[Verse 3]
Bodhisattvas gather, jewels abound
In Buddha's wisdom, truth is found
Though counterfeit may someday reign  
The relics cherished will remain

[Verse 3]
Bodhisattvas gather, jewels abound
In Buddha's wisdom, truth is found
Though counterfeit may someday reign  
The relics cherished will remain

[Chorus]
The Buddha's word has set me free
A joyous fate, my eyes now see
Through eons long, the light extends  
Until all beings reach their journey's end

[Outro]
Oh Śāriputra, faithful son  
Your quest for truth has just begun
In Buddha's grace, your soul shall sing
Enlightenment, your gift to bring

(Verse 1)
Used to chase the paper, the bling, the fleeting fame
Now I'm seekin' truth, whisperin' the Buddha's name
Twelve hundred qualities, intellect so refined
Openin' up my heart, expandin' my mind
Single verse resonate, meanings unfold
Stories of compassion, centuries old

(Chorus)
Lotus flower bloom, wisdom in my soul
Dharma's in my veins, takin' control
From Houston to the world, spreadin' the light
Padmaprabha's here, shinin' so bright
No more shallow rhymes, just deep understanding
Universal truth, forever expanding
Ancient wisdom, modern day flow
Plant the seeds of peace, watch 'em grow

(Verse 2)
Used to be blind, caught in the rat race
Now I see the connections, every time and space
Six realms of being, from gods to the beast
Understandin' their struggles, findin' inner peace
Not just words I'm spittin', it's a way of life
Cuttin' through the illusions, the pain, and the strife
Everyday sayings, mixed with sacred law
Elevatin' consciousness, breakin' down every flaw

(Chorus)
Lotus flower bloom, wisdom in my soul
Dharma's in my veins, takin' control
From Houston to the world, spreadin' the light
Padmaprabha's here, shinin' so bright
No more shallow rhymes, just deep understanding
Universal truth, forever expanding
Ancient wisdom, modern day flow
Plant the seeds of peace, watch 'em grow

(Bridge)
Not yet an Arya, but I'm on the path
Studyin' the scriptures, avoidin' Buddha's wrath
Reflectin' on the teachings, day and night
Sharpening my mind, makin' my spirit bright
Like the ancient masters, preachin' with grace
Sharing the Dharma, in every time and place

(Verse 3)
Connections and knots, I unravel with ease
Contradictions in life, bring me no unease
Interpretations flow, like a gentle breeze
Ancient Sutras' wisdom, sets my spirit free
From the streaming platforms to the written page
Sharing my gifts, across every stage
Eight books published, thousands of songs
My voice resonates, where it belongs

(Chorus)
Lotus flower bloom, wisdom in my soul
Dharma's in my veins, takin' control
From Houston to the world, spreadin' the light
Padmaprabha's here, shinin' so bright
No more shallow rhymes, just deep understanding
Universal truth, forever expanding
Ancient wisdom, modern day flow
Plant the seeds of peace, watch 'em grow

(Outro)
Yeah, Padmaprabha, Lotus Light, that's my name
Spreading love and wisdom, ain't nothin' the same
From the depths of the Sutra, to the hip-hop beat
Dropping truth bombs, for every soul to meet. Word.

(Reprise Outro)
Yeah, Padmaprabha, Lotus Light, that's my name
Spreading love and wisdom, ain't nothin' the same
From the depths of the Sutra, to the hip-hop beat
Dropping truth bombs, for every soul to meet. 
Word.
