My spirit is my God
That keeps me going
That pulls me out of despair
The only entity I feel obliged to please.
My God is nameless

Embracing the Spirit of Vesak
Wears no mask of religion and caste
Observes me from within myself
Stops me from doing bad.
My spirit is a guiding force
Even when shattered into pieces
I can rise from the ashes like a phoenix
As long as my spirit isn’t dying.
My God doesn’t demand
My God is easy to please
I can say with pride I love my God
Because my spirit is my God.
