Shambhala

The legendary land of light
veiled by snow and sand
is one of many Eastern myths
we've yet to understand.

From the golden Gobi desert
to the mountains of Tibet
live the guardians of Earth
to whom we owe a debt.

Protected by the force of thought
when ego is cast out
the password is goodwill to man
no more, no less, no doubt.

The legend of Shambhala
is very much alive
and said to house the knowledge
to help mankind survive.
