This is the place
to kindle the light
when my mind grows dark
This is the place
I strengthen myself
when I miss the mark
If I am empty if I am lonely
there is an answer
I'll see the true path
Come to the temple within
This is the place
to quench my thirst
when my mind runs dry
This is the place
I quiet my thoughts
when I'd rather cry
If life is painful if I am weary
there is an answer
I'll see the true path
Come to the temple within
This is the place
where dharma will call
when my mind is clear
This is the place
to look at my past
when I have no fear
Where the gate opens
where it swings freely
there is the answer
there is the true path
Come to the temple within
Come to the temple within
Come to the temple within
Come to the temple within
Come to the temple within
