The Waterfall's Long Chant

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Sunlight turns the mountain mist a faint purple

A ribbon of water hangs from on high into the deep green

From far away, I first hear the roar

As though a sleeping heart were suddenly awakened by heaven and earth

[Pre-Chorus]

No need to measure first how high the distant reaches rise

The river in my heart is already racing toward the light

[Chorus]

Let this heart cross a chasm too

Turn this long-suppressed silence into spray

If the road ahead always holds unforeseen drops

Then meet the answer with earnest courage

Let this heart cross a chasm too

May the distant lands I travel through be vaster than I imagine

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 2]

Mist gently wells up from my feet toward my sleeves

The water carries the whole sky downward with it

Suddenly I stop clinging to those little gains and losses

I only want to hold this moment's vastness close within my chest

[Pre-Chorus]

No need to measure first how high the distant reaches rise

The river in my heart is already racing toward the light

[Chorus]

Let this heart cross a chasm too

Turn this long-suppressed silence into spray

If the road ahead always holds unforeseen drops

Then meet the answer with earnest courage

Let this heart cross a chasm too

May the distant lands I travel through be vaster than I imagine

[Bridge]

Not every fall means loss

Strength too is gathering anew at the turning point

When the sun makes tiny rainbows bloom in droplets

I, too, am willing to give myself a new beginning

[Final Chorus]

Let this heart cross a chasm too

Turn this long-suppressed silence into spray

If the road ahead always holds unforeseen drops

Then meet the answer with earnest courage

Let this heart cross a chasm too

May the distant lands I travel through be vaster than I imagine

[Outro]

Please let this sound of the tide stay with me always

Carry the breath of mountains and rivers into life
