Inspired by Li Bai’s “Farewell to Uncle Yun, the Collator, at Xie Tiao Tower in Xuanzhou,” these new lyrics describe leaving worries at the foot of the tower.
Leave your troubles downstairs for a while
Let me sing this song toward the ends of the earth

Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Yesterday is like a door that has closed
Yet today's wind stirs my heart into turmoil again
You and I stand in the same tall tower
Watch the geese fly past clouds that refuse to linger
[Pre-Chorus]
Old writings shine upon the bones of my younger self
Within my chest, a path still leads upward
[Chorus]
Leave your troubles downstairs for a while
Let me sing this song toward the ends of the earth
No need to let gains and losses sign away your life
A fair wind still waits for me to set out
Leave your troubles downstairs for a while
With a heart still warm, I go to see how vast the mountains and rivers are
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 2]
The ripples at the bottom of the cup still refuse to settle
Only then do I understand that some answers are not in wine
If from the heights I cannot see myself clearly
Then walk to the water and listen to my breathing anew
[Pre-Chorus]
Old writings shine upon the bones of my younger self
Within my chest, a path still leads upward
[Chorus]
Leave your troubles downstairs for a while
Let me sing this song toward the ends of the earth
No need to let gains and losses sign away your life
A fair wind still waits for me to set out
Leave your troubles downstairs for a while
With a heart still warm, I go to see how vast the mountains and rivers are
[Bridge]
Not every disappointment can be laid down at once
Nor does every tomorrow need an answer in advance
As I slowly open my tightly clenched hands
A little boat is already waiting in the morning light
[Final Chorus]
Leave your troubles downstairs for a while
Let me sing this song toward the ends of the earth
No need to let gains and losses sign away your life
A fair wind still waits for me to set out
Leave your troubles downstairs for a while
With a heart still warm, I go to see how vast the mountains and rivers are
[Outro]
Please let the far-ranging wind loosen my clothes and hair
On the next stretch, I wish to walk with greater ease of heart
