Prelude: The Middle Way Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the quiet dawn where light unfolds,
Between the night and breaking day,
I step upon a path untold,
Embracing now the Middle Way.

[Chorus]
No more extremes to lead me wrong,
No hollow highs or depths of grey,
I find the place where I belong,
Balanced on the Middle Way.

[Verse 2]
Voices pull from left and right,
Whispers of indulgence, strict refrain,
But I will seek the gentle light,
That shines beyond both joy and pain.

[Chorus]
No more extremes to lead me wrong,
No hollow highs or depths of grey,
I find the place where I belong,
Balanced on the Middle Way.

[Bridge]
Between desire and aversion's call,
There lies a road less traveled on,
Where neither rise nor do we fall,
But journey to the heart's true song.

[Verse 3]
The river flows, the seasons turn,
In harmony, they weave their way,
And from them all, I seek to learn,
The wisdom of the Middle Way.

[Final Chorus]
Here in this space, serene and strong,
I walk the path day by day,
Aware, awake, where I belong,
Living on the Middle Way.

[Outro]
In balance now, I choose to stay,
Embracing all, the Middle Way.
