^{The song was written by Joseph Emet and published in the book “Basket of Plums Songbook: Music in the Tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh” (compiled by Joseph Emet). A new set of words by Michael Ciborski.}

Breathing in, I go back
To the island within myself.
There are beautiful trees
Within the island.
There are clear streams
Of water, there are birds,
Sunshine and fresh air…
Breathing out, I feel safe.
I enjoy going back to my island.

Breathing in, I go back
To the ocean within myself.
There are dolphins and whales
Within the ocean.
there are strong tide
and currents there are shells
starfish seaweed
Breathing out, I feel joy
I enjoy going back to my ocean.

Breathing in, I go back
To the mountain within myself.
There are cliffs and waterfalls
Within the mountain.
There is deep solid rock
crystals and gems
sparkling caves and high peaks
Breathing out, I feel strange
I enjoy going back to my mountain.

Breathing in, I go back
to the bluesky within myself.
There are full moon and planets
within the big bluesky
there are wise owls and eagles
there are Sun
rainbows graceful bird
Breathing out, I feel peace
I enjoy going back to my bluesky.

A song written during the 2012 Holiday Retreat in Deer Park Monastery.
Music: Nhu-Mai Nguyen (@sorbetskies)
Lyrics: Nhu-Mai and children from the Children’s Program

The Sun! The Sun, it shines!
On my face and on my eyes
The su-u-u-un shines in my heart (2x)

The River! The River, it flows!
From the mountains to my toes
The ri-i-i-ver flows in my heart (2x)

Chorus:
From the mountains, the flowers,
The children, and the deer
We all love each other
There’s a space for everyone in my heart

The Trees! The Trees, they sway!
And give oxygen everyday
The Tree-ee-ees they sway in my heart (2x)

The Birds! The Birds, they fly!
As a school of fish swim by
The Animals are all in my heart (2x)

From the Mountains, the flowers,
The children, and the deer
We all love each other
There’s a space for everyone in my heart
There’s a space for everyone in my heart
There’s a home for everyone in my heart
