Story behind the song
Written for Lynette, a caring, talented, beautiful person inside and out who was one of the best friends I've ever had.. She was a Buddhist, had been almost half her life. At her memorial for her and her son Joey (he was 13 and also died from the fire) the leaders of the group said she was a Buddha now.. a rock and roll Buddha.. I've updated her website, making it a ceremony of her and Joey's wonderful lives.. If you get a chance check out Lynette's Page
Lyrics
rock n roll buddha they say you look in on us ashes to ashes dust to dust sometimes i feel you near like you’ve come to dry the tears you were like a sister to me we shared the dreams to be then one day you were gone like a melody to an unfinished song chorus: rock n roll buddha did you find nirvana? rock n roll buddha did you find good karma o pretty buddha hear your tune you know you left us too soon left us too soon (and joey too) your picture hangs on my wall warm voice never more to call a wonderful life now gone ahead so many things left unsaid you sang like the angel my friend they tell us it's a new beginning not the end ashes to ashes dust to dust i know sometimes you look in on us chorus: rock n roll buddha did you find nirvana? rock n roll buddha did you find good karma o pretty buddha hear your tune you know you left us too soon left us too soon (and joey too) (and i miss you so much)
