The mountain stands for ages, never claims it's high
The river flows a long, long way, never says where it will lie
Only the human heart keeps asking, asking, why, oh why?
What do we chase, on this long road beneath the sky?
A breath, scattering in the empty air
The wind passes through the barren field
Leaves nothing behind, no trace
The clouds drift across the heavens, never settle in one place
These hands I held so tightly, now find only empty space
But in this emptied heart, the world finds its embrace
To live this life, it's not adding more to hold
But layer by layer, letting go
A story to unfold
To live this life, it's not adding more to hold
But layer by layer, letting go
A story to unfold
(Yeah, letting go, watching it unfold)
When a single leaf falls, the forest finds its quiet sound
When a ripple passes by, the river clears all around
Human sorrows, they are no different
On this hallowed ground
To hold so much, won't make the world feel wide
But with nothing left to grasp, the open sky inside
Mountain is me, river is me
This flowing breath, it's me, you see
In this vast universe, a passing breeze, I'll be
Become the wind, become the earth
Returning to nature, a new birth
