From the song

There’s a book called the Lotus Sutra, you really oughta know about.
A holy book that has the power to remove all fear and doubt.
And this book tells the story of a man who means the world to me, who could just as well be a woman if not for male hegemony.
They call him the Bodhisattva Never Disparage, or the Bodhisattva Never Despise.
And I’m makin’ it my life’s ambition to see the world through his pure eyes.
I would never disparage you or keep you at arm’s length.
Where you only see your weaknesses, I only see your strength.
I would never despise you or put you down in any way.
Because it’s clear to me, I can plainly see, you’ll be a buddha someday. I love you.
