Song – Rich Dreams

Move over, quiet meditation—this week’s most audacious track is a sparkling, unapologetic pop plea to Jambhala, the Buddhist deity of wealth. With a pink notebook full of schemes and a “champagne life stuck on ‘hope,’” the singer trades solemn chants for a hooky, irresistible demand: “Jambhala, make me rich, rich, rich!”

This is spiritual materialism with a wink and a fabulous sense of style. The lyrics are hilariously, painfully relatable, chronicling the frustration of a “card just got declined” and dreams left “on layaway.” It’s a anthem for anyone who’s ever been “tired of livin’ in almost and wait,” blending modern hustle with a timeless desire for divine intervention.

Unabashedly specific in its requests for “Dollar, Pound or RMB,” the song is less about greed and more about the bold faith to ask the universe for a fabulous upgrade. It’s the sound of manifesting your dream life, one glittering, beat-driven chorus at a time. So, if you’ve ever cried in a dressing room, this is your new, empowering soundtrack to finally getting the bag—literally.

For some, the only way to find their own strength is to first believe in a higher power.

Lyrics

[Verse 1 – feeling indignant]

I’ve been nice, I’ve been sweet,

Paid my dues, stayed on my feet.

But my card just got declined

And I’m two bad days from losin’ my mind.

[Pre-Chorus ]

Tired of playin’ it safe and small,

If luck’s a game, I want it all.

Put my faith in a higher plan —

With open arms and empty hands.

[Chorus]

Jambhala, make me rich, rich, rich!

Dollar, Pound or RMB — I’ll take any currency.

Jambhala, bling me up, don’t miss,

Drop that gold, give me fortune with a twist.

Jambhala, bless, bless, bless,

Cash my dreams, clean up this mess!

[Verse 2]

Got a pink notebook full of schemes,

Fashion shows and movie scenes.

But I’m stuck in line with a worn-out tote,

While my champagne life is stuck on “hope.”

[Pre-Chorus]

I’m not greedy, just got taste,

Tired of livin’ in almost and wait.

So if you’re listenin’, wealth divine,

Slide some sparkle into mine.

[Chorus]

Jambhala, make me rich, rich, rich!

Dollar, Pound or RMB — I’ll take any currency.

Jambhala, bling me up, don’t miss,

Drop that gold, give me fortune with a twist.

Jambhala, bless, bless, bless,

Shine me up, I’m feelin’ pressed!

[Bridge ]

Oh, I’ve cried in the dressing room,

Left my dreams on layaway.

But if luck loves a bold girl,

Then I’ve got something to say—

[Final Chorus]

Jambhala, make me rich, rich, rich!

Dollar, Pound or RMB — I’ll take any currency.

Jambhala, bling me up, don’t miss,

Flip this script with a fabulous twist.

Jambhala, bless, bless, bless,

I’ve got style — now fund the rest!
