Thank You by Pete Caigan

Lyrics

Moses, Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed,
And all the prophets, both living and dead,
Thank you for the teaching
You give when I'm willing to hear
Could be a long time to be gone
And a short time to be here

Moses grew up a Jew in the Pharoah's house
His people were in Slavery
He said let's get on up out of here
And he set his people free
The Buddha was the son of rich man
He showed us a cool way to be
A big heart full of compassion
Sitting under a tree

Moses, Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed,
And all the prophets, both living and dead,
Thank you for the teaching
You give when I'm willing to hear
Could be a long time to be gone
And a short time to be here

Jesus he is a son of God
But we're missing some of the story on him
They say that he loved his enemy
And that he's going to come again
Mohammed was a rebel from Saudi Arabia
And he showed us how to resist
If people are going against the way of God
How do you not get pissed?

In the Holy Koran it says:
"We believe in Allah and in that which has been revealed to us
and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael and Isaac
and Jacob and his children and what was given to Moses and Jesus
and what was given to (all other) prophets from their Lord.
We make no discrimination between anyone of them,
and to him to we submit ourselves entirely."

And in the Dhammapadda the Buddha was credited with saying:
"It's not dreadlocks or birth that makes a holy person
but truth and a love for life with which one's heart is full"
And Jesus said all things are possible for him who believes
And Moses said to the Pharoah,
"Let my people go!"

Moses, Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed,
And all the prophets, both living and dead,
Thank you for the teaching
You give when I'm willing to hear
Could be a long time to be gone
And a short time to be here.
