Greed begets suffering {2} Vi Kien poetry

[Verse 1] Greed begets suffering I see it on every face Awaken it early And sorrow starts to break Emotional turmoil Makes the high, holy flame grow dim But a heart set on purpose Can learn to breathe again [Pre-Chorus] With steadfast resolve I keep moving on Complications fall away When the will is strong Awakened awareness Quiet in the storm Inner balance rises And the fear is gone [Chorus] Awaken the heart Return to the Source Peace lives inside Right at the core Awaken the heart Let the spirit restore No room for worry No room for more [Verse 2] Squabbling over scraps of land Only leaves us all in pain Mankind carries scars When pride begins to reign But sincerity in practice Turns the burden into light Enduring and light I keep my sight on the right [Pre-Chorus] With the secular and sacred Walking side by side True insight grows In the steady mind Pure and profound That mercy makes us whole From a transformed heart Wisdom starts to flow [Chorus] Awaken the heart Return to the Source Peace lives inside Right at the core Awaken the heart Let the spirit restore No room for worry No room for more [Bridge] When the heart is purified The wonder shows its face No gain, no loss can chain me No error stays in place I stand in calm I stand in truth The path is clear For me and you [Final Chorus] Awaken the heart Return to the Source Peace lives inside Right at the core Awaken the heart Let the spirit restore With wisdom alive We wander no more
