A Little bit of Life

The surrounding sorrow is life, the spreading happiness is life

falling tears is life, breaking laughter is life

in this life there is only but a little life

there is falling rain, there is a fierce storm

there is scorching sun and there is a cool shadow

the silence of the night, the fragrance of the day

the sweet smell, the breeze wandering in its search

in this life there is only but a little life

there is hurting smoke, there are soothing clouds

there is a waiting crane, there is a running deer

dry, green, single, group of trees, moving and still leaves are there

there is a piercing cold, there is a burning desire

in this life there is only but a little life

there are falling waves and there is rising tide

falling, running, still and running water is there

sometimes silent, at time the calling mountains

the free laughter, the hidden sorrow

in this life there is only but a little life
