"Sensei, For You"
Lyrics by Brian Potter
Music by Wayne Green
Through your eyes, we see the dream unfold.
In your words, we hear the thunder roll.
Each day we seek your wisdom,
as our voyage begins anew.
Hurry home, hurry home,
we're calling for you.
In your words, we hear the thunder roll.
Each day we seek your wisdom,
as our voyage begins anew.
Hurry home, hurry home,
we're calling for you.
Sensei, we're waiting
We're reaching to touch your heart.
We're ready to play our part
in your great dream.
All our tomorrows
are shiny and new.
We'll fight forever,
Sensei, for you.
By your side, we strive in unity.
Far and wide, so all the world can see.
With bold determination,
hopeful hearts, and joyful tears,
we'll go on -- ever on
through all of our years.
Far and wide, so all the world can see.
With bold determination,
hopeful hearts, and joyful tears,
we'll go on -- ever on
through all of our years.
Sensei, we're waiting
We're reaching to touch your heart.
We're ready to play our part
in your great dream.
All our tomorrows
are shiny and new.
We'll fight forever,
Sensei, for you.
We'll fight forever,
Sensei, for you.
Sensei, for you.

Deep in my heart, Gohonzon is in me
And I am the messenger of the Buddha X2
I struggle to defeat, when devil challenges me
And I chant to be the Buddha

No more tears, no more doubt, no pretense; now I will run along the path of happiness
My heart is brimming with courage and joy; and I will grow with all my might every day
(*) And this is my life, I'm gonna give it all to kosen-rufu, my mission � endlessly
And this is my song of total victory; and I determine, I determine
My heart is brimming with courage and joy; and I will grow with all my might every day
(*) And this is my life, I'm gonna give it all to kosen-rufu, my mission � endlessly
And this is my song of total victory; and I determine, I determine
(Chorus 1)
No matter what, I'll surely win
Never give up, never give in
To reaffirm, my youthful vow
In every way, I seek Sensei
No matter what, I'll surely win
Never give up, never give in
To reaffirm, my youthful vow
In every way, I seek Sensei
No more complaint, no more fear, no regret; we will be stronger than we were yesterday
Life is a journey, it has ups and downs; now let us challenge them all boldly
And we shall sail now on the winds of global peace
Come let's discover the shining world of faith
Can you feel the rhythm of an inner symphony, I sure can feel it, I can feel it
Life is a journey, it has ups and downs; now let us challenge them all boldly
And we shall sail now on the winds of global peace
Come let's discover the shining world of faith
Can you feel the rhythm of an inner symphony, I sure can feel it, I can feel it
(Chorus 2)
The sunlight fills, my joyous heart
I sail along, this wondrous path
The darkness in, my life is gone
A brilliant light, from the sun within
The sunlight fills, my joyous heart
I sail along, this wondrous path
The darkness in, my life is gone
A brilliant light, from the sun within

We've been waiting for you night and day
It's been so long since you came this way
We keep thinking of you everyday
With deep gratitude we pray
It's been so long since you came this way
We keep thinking of you everyday
With deep gratitude we pray
Come again
To our Buddha land X 2
To our Buddha land X 2
Today seems so much brighter than yesterday
Fighting alongside with you everyday
Thank you for showing us the way
With deep gratitude we pray
Fighting alongside with you everyday
Thank you for showing us the way
With deep gratitude we pray
Come again
To our Buddha land X 4
To our Buddha land X 4
Like the mighty river heading for the sea
Bodhisattvas one in harmony
The mystic law unfolds eternally
Bringing peace into the life of every being
Bodhisattvas one in harmony
The mystic law unfolds eternally
Bringing peace into the life of every being
Come again
To our Buddha land (repeat till end)
To our Buddha land (repeat till end)

"My Mentor and I"
A beautiful song from Soka Gakkai International (SGI) . APTLY TITLED mY MENTOR AND i LYRICS BELOW
We are walking the path, my Mentor and I
On the wings of our mission, together we fly
Far to the east, and far to the west
Not stopping not knowing, a moment of rest
We are walking the path, my Mentor and I
Turning sorrow to happiness, tears to smiles
Playing our part, yet one in our heart
Turning new leaf and make everyday a new start
Never retreating over worries or fear
We are moving ahead with our strength of our prayer
And this moment striving for, sake of tomorrow
what a wonderful feeling this is
We are walking the path, my Mentor and I
Saving all of humanities are our cry
No one will watch over , No one will see
But we strive and we toil, to change history
You cause my spirit to soar in the SKY
To dance and to sing and turn darkness to light
It is me and the power that lies within my life
what a wonderful feeling this is
We are walking the path, my Mentor and I
On the wings of our mission, together we fly
Far to the east, and far to the west
Not stopping not knowing, a moment of rest

Sensei I am here
Was I there when my mentor gave the call?
To take the law to all…..The mystic law to all
Did I see Mount Fuji standing tall?
And work with the resolve
To never ever fall
Did I feel the warm glow on that cold mountain day?
Burning bright in the heart of one and all
Was I there to spell a mission in the dew drops of the grass?
To wash the pain of every land big or small
Yes I was, Yes I was
Was I there at the great Eagle Peak
To hear the Buddha speak…..The truth that we seek
Did I rise on the fresh wings of hope?
With every word he spoke
To clear every slope
Was I near the Daishonin when the law was revealed?
Did my voice join his to sing along?
Was I there to protect him when the devils did rise?
Was I with him when ….was I strong?
Yes I was, Yes I was
Now I came in this age of despair
No effort I’ve spared…..To comfort and care
It’s my mission of Sensei I swear
This I declare, Yes, I’ll be there
To wipe every tear, to banish all fear
To help everyone persevere
I will light every heart with the light of the law
I will make the Buddha land right here
Yes, my Buddha land is right here
Yes, I’m here…Yes, I’m here
Now I’m here, O Sensei I’m here
SENSEI OH SENSEI
Sensei oh Sensei
You being mentor of my life
I could see where the Buddhahood lies
Sensei when I am in trouble
Your guidance keeps me calm
And your spirit polishes me to shine
Sensei oh Sensei
You being mentor of my life
I could see where the Buddhahood lies
Deep in my heart, Gohonzon is in me
And I’m the messenger of the Buddha
And I’m the messenger of the Buddha
I struggle to defeat, when devil challenge me
And I chant to be the Buddha
Sensei oh Sensei
You being mentor of my life
I could see where the Buddhahood lies
Life is so interesting; there are always ups and downs
And I’m the fighter in the revolution
And I am the fighter in the revolution
When suffering only deepens and hopes disappears
I could see the dawn after dark
Sensei oh Sensei
You being mentor of my life
I could see where the Buddhahood lies
Together we’ll change the world
Our world is full of strife and war
And people are dying in pain
Come friends, it’s time we fought for peace
Together, we’ll change the world
Just like our Sensei, We will show them the way
Brim with hope for a brand new day
When we fight without a doubt
Together, we’ll change the world
There are walls of hatred and distrust
And people are living in shells
Come friends, its time we set them free
Together, we’ll change the world
Just like our Sensei, We will show them the way
Brim with hope for a brand new day
When we fight without a doubt
Together, we’ll change the world
We walk the path of the world Honored One
Promise we made in the distant past
Armed with the law we boldly go forth
Changing the destiny
There are homes of silence and discord
And Children are going astray
Come friends, it’s time we opened their eyes
Together, we’ll change the world
Just like our Sensei, We will show them the way
Brim with hope for a brand new day
WE’LL GO ON AND ON
Cha chara Cha chara…Cha… ra ra………Twice
We are marching ahead in unison, Lighting up the way
With courage in our hearts for a mission, We resolve once more today
To be one with our mentor, make his vision our center
And to win each and every day, to conquer every weakness
And recover every sickness, and win over every hurdle we face
We know that the road to world peace… is long
But we’re gonna stop at nothing, we’ll go on and on and on….
We are marching ahead in unison, lighting up the way
With courage in our hearts for a mission, we resolve once more today
To suffer what there is to suffer, only moving on together
Crushing obstacles that comes our way,
Endure the stormy weather, hoping in our hearts forever
That the night will always turn to day
And even if the winter of our lives… seem long
Amidst the raging waves, we’ll feel, we’ll go on and on and on…
Music
Without giving in to my desires, we’ll give our life for the law
With a pure and brave spirit as our possession
And an ever-strengthening resolve
We are marching ahead in unison, Lighting up the way
With courage in our hearts for a mission, we resolve once more today
To stand up right beside you, and forever to continue
Winning bonds of trust and friendship everyway… everyway
And Sensei, Don’t you worry, we’ll never lose your glory
Proudly stand up today we all declare
That we’ll raise the flag of peace and culture, across the world..
Standing tall to the challenge of the future, we’ll go on and on and on…
We are marching ahead in unison, Lighting up the way
With courage in our hearts for a mission, we resolve once more today
To be one with our mentor, make his vision our center
And to win each and every day,
To conquer every weakness, and recover every sickness
And win over every hurdle we face
We know that the road to world peace… is long
But we’re gonna stop at nothing, we’ll go on and on, and on….
