Burning For The Buddha lyrics - Crosby, Stills & Nash Lyrics

There's a waterfall by Heaven's door
Light is from a savior's eyes
To quench the flames that were there before
Fire touch the skies, fire touch the skies
There's a dagger in a poacher's heart
Smoldering so far below
And any spark that can start the flame
There's lightning in the shadow
Lightning in the shadow

There's a fire in my belly
Like the surface of the sun
I lay my life down for the holy one

I'm burning for the Buddha
There's nothing left to give
Nothing left to live
I'm burning for the Buddha
The ashes will never wash away

I have the right to fight against my foes
Denying my will to live
In peace beside the man who overthrows
Everything I pray for
All that I believe

I'm burning for the Buddha
There's nothing left to give
Nothing left to live
I'm burning for the Buddha
The ashes will never wash away

There's a fire in my belly
Like the surface of the sun
I lay my life down for the holy one

I'm burning for the Buddha
There's nothing to give
Nothing left to live
I'm burning for the Buddha
The ashes will never wash away

I'm burning for the Buddha
There's nothing to give
Nothing left to live
I'm burning for the Buddha
The ashes will never wash away
