Song Lyrics: The Years in Our Life

(Minghui.org) The following song lyrics (with two English translations) were written by a Chinese Falun Dafa practitioner. The song was initially written on January 25, 2006 and further revised on February 20, 2006.

Translation 1:

Our life’s years are like flowing water, Day and night rushing towards the sea. Sadness and joy have their own fate, Within joy and sorrow there are reasons.

Reincarnation comes and goes, Time is interwoven and hard to distinguish. People and things seem familiar, Who says it's not a past life bond?

Searching and searching, the road is long, The childlike heart remains as appearance changes. When awake, sighing at helplessness, When asleep, yearning for higher realms.

Life’s years are worth untold thousands in gold, Every year hoping for opportunities. In this life, I'm fortunate to encounter the great teachings, Climbing the path of divinity back to my homeland.

Translation 2:

Life’s fleeting years flow like water, Day and night rush on towards the sea's border. The joys and sorrows of life are predetermined, But within them lies the reasons for all that has happened.

Reincarnation repeats itself endlessly, The passage of time is a tangle that's hard to see. People and things may seem familiar, Perhaps the result of a lifetime prior.

Searching and seeking, the road is long, The heart of a child still beats in our aging breast. When we're awake, we often lament our helplessness, But when we're asleep, we yearn for a realm beyond our likeness.

Life’s years are worth more than gold, Each year we hope for opportunities to behold. In this life, I am blessed to encounter the teachings of the divine,Climbing the path back to my true home, I am finally aligned.
