Rick Springfield

The light of spirit burns in everyone
The diamond's buried deep-surrender
When the heart is ready the teacher will come
Nothing remains without change-surrender
The tao of heaven shines in every eye
The diamond's buried deep-surrender
It's a gateless gate for those who never try
Nothing remains without change-surrender
The light of spirit burns in everyone
The diamonds buried deep-surrender
When the heart is ready the teacher will come
Nothing remains without change-surrender
The tao of heaven shines in every eye
The diamond's buried deep-surrender
It's a gateless gate for those who never try
