lyrics
THIS IS WHAT I HEARD (Walsh)
I'm sorry this can't be explained
It's a supernatural game
Only understood by Buddhas
Did you know you had one of those
Underneath your clothes
Only understood by Buddhas
CHORUS
Such a pretty lotus flower growing in the swamp
When you pray do you get everything you want?
Your divine treasure tower emerges from the earth
When you pray do you get what you're really worth?
This is what I heard
This is what I heard
This is what I heard
Three thousand realms inside a single
Moment of your life
Only understood by Buddhas
The Ceremony in the Air
I think I saw you there
Only understood by Buddhas
CHORUS
I'm sorry this can't be explained
It's an ordinary game
Only understood by Buddhas
Did you know you had one one of those
Sewn inside your clothes
Only understood by Buddhas
CHORUS
I'm sorry this can't be explained
It's a supernatural game
Only understood by Buddhas
Did you know you had one of those
Underneath your clothes
Only understood by Buddhas
CHORUS
Such a pretty lotus flower growing in the swamp
When you pray do you get everything you want?
Your divine treasure tower emerges from the earth
When you pray do you get what you're really worth?
This is what I heard
This is what I heard
This is what I heard
Three thousand realms inside a single
Moment of your life
Only understood by Buddhas
The Ceremony in the Air
I think I saw you there
Only understood by Buddhas
CHORUS
I'm sorry this can't be explained
It's an ordinary game
Only understood by Buddhas
Did you know you had one one of those
Sewn inside your clothes
Only understood by Buddhas
CHORUS
