on his holiness's birthday
who turns 82 today
so grateful for the example
of living kindness that he displays

the path to peace he's followed
and all the teachings that he's gived
the intention that he's set
as he walks the talk in the way he lives

I think of all the lives
that he has touched with his humble way
that he had the wisdom to forgive
those who took his homeland away

yes the work of the Dalai Lama
has kept the spirit of Tibet alive
I thank him from my heart and soul
for how he's inspired so many lives
