  Time drifts on between each breath for you and I
  When your destination arrives, have your dreams gone to rest?
  Body and mind worn out between each sunset and sunrise
  When calamity strikes, would then your heart return home?
  
  As one act after another plays out, unfamiliarity of nonexistence
  Seeking and searching, how to link pearls on a broken string?
  How to sing the missing notes?
  
  If tomorrow were your next life
  How would you spend your day today?
  If tomorrow were your next life
  How would you spend your day today?
  
  Use warmth to safeguard life from within
  Let each wave leave its trace behind
  Use mindfulness to protect wellbeing
  Let the wheel of life be given light
