Howard Jones - You're The Buddha lyrics

There were times when i thought there was nothin' in this world There was nothin' in this world for me Everywhere i looked there was trouble in my life Trouble far as i could see Hey there's a man doin' alright What's his philosophy? He come over here and whispered in my ear You're the buddha, you're the christ, You're the mohammed, and the mother mary So who am i so nervous and shy To be brilliant and talented It's the light not the dark that frightens us most And the power lies in our head You playin' small doesn't help at all The world need the things you give Switch yourself on, turn the pressure on You're the buddha, you're the christ, You're the mohammed, and the mother mary There are times when i think there's plenty in this world There's plenty in this world for me Anytime i see trouble in my life It becomes an opportunity Now there's a chance to make the world dance You do it unconsciously Help this winter turn into spring You're the buddha, you're the christ, You're the mohammed, and the mother mary
