Title: Let Not Our Neighbor Become Our Enemy
Genre: Contemporary ethnic ballad with peaceful Buddhist undertones
[Intro]
(Gentle traditional instrumental intro with soft wind chimes, khim, and hand drums)
[Verse 1]
Peaceful methods — the same in name
But why do they feel so far apart?
One leader turns to global courts, hoping justice might restore
While the other seeks direct dialogue, believing trust can open the door
[Verse 2]
If we choose to clash and fight,
We might gain land, but lose the light
Children inherit bitter strife,
Passed down through every phase of life
Though both nations bow to Dharma’s way,
We still risk karmic debt today
[Chorus]
Let not our neighbor become our enemy
We share a border, we breathe the same air
Victory means little if the heart is bare
We are Buddhists — let wisdom lead the way
Whether court or talk — peace must never fray
If trust is lost, even justice feels like war
And harmony becomes no more
[Verse 3]
Both approaches seek the same —
Resolution without flame
But pride and fear cloud what we see
And fuel the flames of rivalry
Ask not who’s right, or who’s to blame
But how to exit with friendship’s name
[Chorus – Continued]
Let not our neighbor become our enemy
Peace is not just a word or law
It’s a path we walk with mindful awe
Build bridges with soft speech and grace
Don’t let hate take wisdom’s place
[Bridge]
In this world, no one stands alone
We’re shadows cast beneath the same moon’s glow
If I yield a step, will you come closer too?
To end this cycle — me and you
[Final Chorus]
Let not our neighbor become our enemy
May hearts rise higher than disputed ground
If we walk on, with kindness as our sound
Let us choose the way that saves
Both the land — and the bond we crave
[Outro]
(Soft fade with nature sounds and a spoken word line:
“Patience is the gatekeeper of lasting peace.”)
