Stand By Me

Lyrics by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo

If you could stay my friend
Until samsara ends
There would be time to spend
Loving all beings
Loving all sentient beings

If you could live this life
With all its war and strife
Living a sacred life
Stand by me

Chorus:
But I’m just a simple fool
I’m not that good at social rules
What would I know ‘bout what to do
I’ve got crazy appetites
For love and truth and all that’s right
Sometimes I just wanna see
Some light in your eyes

If you could start right now
You’d gather strength somehow
We could turn hate around
If you stand by me

If you could take advice
Let your heart voice thrive
It could be paradise
When you stand by me

Chorus:
And if the truth be told
This story’s very old
Your karma still unfolds
As you stand by me
