(can be sung to “Sunrise, Sunset”
The refrain is from the original song)
1.
What motives bring us here together?
What reasons do we have in mind?
Can we yet plan while growing older?
Is there yet time?
When did we get to do our planning?
How did we show our love and care?
Isn’t it now the time for us to share?
REFRAIN:
Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset,
Swiftly flow the days;
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflow’rs,
Blossoming even as we gaze.
Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset,
Swiftly fly the years;
One season following another,
Laden with happiness and tears.
2. How can we truly do our hoping?
What all together yet abide?
Joining each other as we stand here side by side.
Face the real quest of this our living?
Live the real hopes that bring true bliss?
Sacrifice, suffering for happiness?
