  1. But it’s so close to Shambhala!

    Wash away my troubles
    Wash away my pain
    With the rain in Shambala
    Wash away my sorrow
    Wash away my shame
    With the rain in Shambala

    Ah ooh yeah
    Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
    Ah ooh yeah
    Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

    Everyone is helpful
    Everyone is kind
    On the road to Shambala
    Everyone is lucky
    Everyone is so kind
    On the road to Shambala

    How does your light shine
    In the halls of Shambala
    How does your light shine
    In the halls of Shambala

    I can tell my sister by the flowers in her eyes
    On the road to Shambala
    I can tell my brother by the flowers in his eyes

    How does your light shine
    In the halls of Shambala
    How does your light shine
    In the halls of Shambala
    Tell me how does your light shine
    In the halls of Shambala
    Tell me how does your light shine
    In the halls of Shambala
