Neither Veda, Bible nor Quran I seek,
Not temple nor mosque, no ritual mystique,
I yearn for the color of love to stay,
Let someone show me that truthful way.Where high and low are never defined,
No caste or creed divides mankind,
No temple, mosque, nor church divides,
No prayer in rivalry there abides.Where truth is the crown that all hearts wear,
Where selfless giving fragrances the air,
Where joy is born of a soul set free,
And love is the law of eternity.Where hatred dies and compassion lives,
Where hands are joined and each heart forgives,
Where every life is a sacred flame,
And none are lesser, and none to blame.Where rivers of mercy forever flow,
And gardens of kindness eternal grow,
Where hope is the song the children sing,
And peace is the gift that angels bring.Where wisdom shines like the morning light,
And hearts awaken to vision bright,
Where silence speaks of a love profound,
And heaven is felt on earthly ground.O my lord, steer with steady hand,
Toward that pure and radiant land,
Where love is the river, truth is the shore,
And peace will dwell forevermore.
