In the heart of spring, Cherry blossoms fall gently, Lonely in their bloom. Among tall pines, I, A solitary bamboo, Whisper to the wind. Silent tea gardens, Voices hushed by ancient stones, My heart seeks its kin. Moonlight on still ponds, Reflections of foreign stars, Yearning for my sky. In the morning mist, Cranes take flight with graceful ease, My wings long to join. Frost on autumn leaves, Brittle beneath sturdy oak, I bend, do not break. With each passing season, Harmony eludes my soul, Yet, I find my place. Shared cups of warm sake, Laughter woven through the night, Different, yet we blend. In the temple's shade, Echoes of the sacred bell, Peace finds every heart. Outsider I am, Yet embraced by this rich world, Roots deep in strange soil. Paths wind through the green, Fate’s twists seen in gentle light, Meaning found in care. Gardener’s soft hand, Prunes with tender love and grace, Nurtured from above. Night brings quiet rest, Stars shine on the peaceful leaves, Dreams grow in moon’s light. Rainfall softly falls, Cleansing, feeding every sprout, Renewal in each drop. (Chorus) In life’s garden bright, We bloom and we fade gently, Each tear, a memory. (Chorus 2) In life’s garden bright, We bloom and we fade gently, Each tear, a memory.
