This song is inspired by the invocation chant of the 28 past Buddhas.

Opening with a whispered mantra, the track establishes its dual nature as reverent homage and a defiant stand against modern chaos. The verses yearn for presence, while the choruses lift the sacred Pali refrain “Namo” into a soaring pop hook.

The masterstroke is the rap verse—a breathless recitation of the Buddhas’ names, transforming liturgy into a rhythmic, grounding flow. This is embodied wisdom, not escape, underscored by the bridge: “Namo means waking up right now.”

Balancing ethereal pads with a gentle drive, the song creates a sanctuary in sound. It proves pop can be a vessel for introspection, marrying ancient solemnity with a chorus built for stadiums. Let it move you.

Lyrics

(Intro)
Namo…Namo…Yeah.

(Verse 1)
The world moves fast, pulls us sideways,
Noise everywhere, telling us who to be.
But there’s a rhythm older than the chaos,
A quiet truth that still walks with me.

I don’t need to escape this life,
I just need to see it clear.
Every step can lean toward freedom,
Every breath starts here.

(Pre-Chorus)
Hands open, eyes awake,
I trust the path I choose to take.

(Chorus)
Namo, Namo, Namo — Buddha
Say it slow, let it move ya
Light in the dark when the mind goes under
Namo, Namo, Namo — Buddha

Namo, Namo, Namo — Buddha
Ancient truth but it’s new, yeah
Still leads us out of fear and hunger
Namo, Namo, Namo — Buddha

(Rap / Name Drop Verse)
Namo, Namo, Namo, Taṇhaṅkara Buddha
Medhaṅkara Buddha
Saraṇaṅkara Buddha
Dīpaṅkara Buddha

Koṇḍañña Buddha
Sumana Buddha
Revata Buddha

From the past to the now, still speaking,
Different names, same awakening,
Different lives, one clear direction,
Freedom’s always in the making.

(Verse 2)
They didn’t promise easy days,
They showed a way through change and pain.
Not perfection, not escape,
Just wisdom strong enough to stay.

Kindness as a daily act,
Clarity over running back.
This path doesn’t ask for belief —
It asks for courage, breath by breath.

(Pre-Chorus 2)
Feet on ground, heart aligned,
Happiness is trained, not found.

(Chorus)
Namo, Namo, Namo — Buddha
Say it loud, let it move ya
When the mind feels lost or younger
Namo, Namo, Namo — Buddha

Namo, Namo, Namo — Buddha
Not a myth, not a rumor
Living truth, living future
Namo, Namo, Namo — Buddha

(Rap / Name Drop 2)
Namo, Namo, Namo, 

Sobhita Buddha
Anomadassī Buddha
Paduma Buddha
Nārada Buddha

Padumuttara Buddha
Sumedha Buddha
Sujāta Buddha
Piyadassī Buddha

Say the name, feel the weight lift,
Say it once, feel the shift hit,
Say it till the heart gets quiet,
Say it till the fear gets tired.

(Bridge)
Namo not simply bowing down,
It means waking up right now.
Respect for what the mind can be,
When it’s trained in honesty.

(Final Chorus)
Namo, Namo, Namo — Buddha
Hands up, heart a little looser
This path leads to real joy, not numbers
Namo, Namo, Namo — Buddha

Namo, Namo, Namo — Buddha
Old wisdom, new future
We’re not lost, we’re learning, we’re human
Namo, Namo, Namo — Buddha

(Outro)
Namo, Namo, Namo, Atthadassī Buddha
Dhammadassī Buddha
Siddhattha Buddha
Tissa Buddha

Phussa Buddha
Vipassī Buddha
Sikhī Buddha
Vessabhū Buddha

Kakusandha Buddha
Koṇāgamana Buddha
Kassapa Buddha, Manggala Buddha…

Namo Gotama Buddha…..

(Buddha Buddha Buddha)
