Up Er Mei

We were walking in paradise

Never did notice

Blind in the Buddha land

Looking for solace

We had been told of a place

Far beyond this vale of tears

We could never have guessed

We were already blessed

There we were, where we are

In the garden

Didn't we climb on up er mei

Temple to temple

Yes and all and all along the way

The day was simple

Didn't we reach the top

Didn't we gain our goal

Did we finally stop

Surprised by the cold

We were walking in paradise

Never did tumble

Blind in the Buddha land

Looking for trouble

We had been told of a place

Far beyond this vale of tears

We could never have guessed

We were already blessed

There we were, where we are

In the garden
