Simple Joys Through the Four Seasons

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Spring waters slowly overflow the pond’s banks

Summer clouds again pile into distant peaks

I pause my steps as the seasons change

I hear the days singing in different voices

[Pre-Chorus]

There is no need to wait for just one kind of weather

Every season has its reasons for an encounter

[Chorus]

All four seasons are answering on life's behalf

Blossoms are not the only things worth caring for

The moon has shone over the fields and pine boughs have caught the snowflakes

Every stretch of the journey can leave a true heart behind

All four seasons are answering on life's behalf

May we recognize the present wherever we go

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 2]

The autumn moon lights the night road with clarity

The pines on winter ridges still hold aloft a swath of deep green

I slowly learn not to question every loss to the very end

And I can see that everything new is carrying on

[Pre-Chorus]

There is no need to wait for just one kind of weather

Every season has its reasons for an encounter

[Chorus]

All four seasons are answering on life's behalf

Blossoms are not the only things worth caring for

The moon has shone over the fields and pine boughs have caught the snowflakes

Every stretch of the journey can leave a true heart behind

All four seasons are answering on life's behalf

May we recognize the present wherever we go

[Bridge]

Let every arrival and departure have its own rhythm

Let growing up take its time in becoming what someone expects

When I am willing to breathe with all living things

This life gains so many more wonders worth cherishing

[Final Chorus]

All four seasons are answering on life's behalf

Blossoms are not the only things worth caring for

The moon has shone over the fields and pine boughs have caught the snowflakes

Every stretch of the journey can leave a true heart behind

All four seasons are answering on life's behalf

May we recognize the present wherever we go

[Outro]

Tomorrow’s wind will have tomorrow’s colors

For now I will live today into a whole and complete song
