Lyrics

Bodhisattva, would you take me by the hand?
Bodhisattva, would you take me by the hand?
Can you show me the shine of your Japan, the sparkle of your China?
Can you show me, Bodhisattva?
Bodhisattva, I'm gonna sell my house in town
Bodhisattva, I'm gonna sell my house in town
And I'll be there, to shine in your Japan, to sparkle in your China
Yes, I'll be there, Bodhisattva
Bodhisattva, would you take me by the hand?
Bodhisattva, would you take me by the hand?
Can you show me, the shine of your Japan, the sparkle of your China?
Can you show me, Bodhisattva?
Bodhisattva, I'm gonna sell my house in town
Bodhisattva, I'm gonna sell my house in town
And I'll be there to shine in your Japan, to sparkle in your China
Yes, I'll be there, Bodhisattva
Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva
Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva
Bodhisattva, look out
