The Monks Mountain
Up, up, up, high in the mountainside,
A little village of temples awaits,
Bright gorgeous Buddhist Monasteries
Are shining in the morning sun.
The magic is waiting, the magic is waiting,
The magic is waiting, for you.
Red royal pagodas filled with melodic chanting,
Others full of praying and meditation,
Two whole floors of holy space.
The enchanting Buddhist Monasteries are Japanese glories,
Food, vegetarian and weird but wonderful,
Eaten sitting on woven straw mats (tatami),
Also it is slept on, with bedding on top,
The monks wash in public baths, and you do too.
The experience makes you calm and respectful,
It’s a time to let yourself loose and relax,
But also to remember, anything and everything,
It made me feel happy and calm.
