Ninja Teacher Lee

[Verse]
Ninja Teacher Lee was a man of peace
With wisdom flowing like the breeze
He'd sit and ponder
Watch the tide
But chaos found him
Couldn't hide
The waves would crash
The gulls would scream
His Zen was slipping like a dream
He’d hum a mantra
Breathe real deep
But calm's a treasure he couldn't keep

[Pre-Chorus]
By the shore he sat for meditation time
But a boatman blasted bandari like a crime
A teenage rider chased him across the sand
And roaring motors tore through his quiet plan

[Chorus]
Ninja Teacher Lee, hold on to your peace
The whole wide shoreline won't let the racket cease
Ninja Teacher Lee, breathe in, count to three
When trouble comes charging, be the calm you want to see

[Verse]
A kite got tangled in the temple gate
A vendor argued loudly about the price of dates
Lee raised one finger, then two, then three
But a crab stole his sandal and fled toward the sea
He bowed to the gulls
He bowed to the foam
He whispered, "Apparently, nowhere is home"
Then laughter broke through the storm in his chest
He found that surrender sometimes works best

[Bridge]
Let the boat horns call
Let the wild wheels spin
Let the tide pull out
Let the tide roll in
Peace isn't silence
Or a world standing still
It's choosing your breath
When the world tests your will

[Chorus]
Ninja Teacher Lee, hold on to your peace
The whole wide shoreline won't let the racket cease
Ninja Teacher Lee, breathe in, count to three
When trouble comes charging, be the calm you want to see

[Outro]
Ninja Teacher Lee sat down by the sea
A crab brought back his sandal, politely
He smiled at the chaos, then rested with ease
And taught the loud shoreline the meaning of peace
