Fighting For Stay On Earth
Fighting For Stay On Earth
In the darkness of the shadow
In the sorrowfulness of the meadow
A boy is playing his flute, staying alone
His flute carries a melancholy tune, as he knows he is alone on this earth
It echoes the pain of loss
With no friends or relatives, he has ever known
He survives by playing the flute to earn money
That's his way of staying alive
When villagers are drawn to his music, he can earn money
Otherwise, he suffers from uncertainty
Fighting against his destiny
Remaining unfed
During that time, trees drop fruits
Sometimes sour, sometimes sweet
He sees them as gifts from God
If he finds something sweet, he consumes a lot
If he finds something sour, he shares a little
Sometimes, the magic of his flute playing
Reaches the skies above
Impressing the birds flying high
And then villagers passing by showering him with money
In that journey, he finds miraculous happiness
I must say to all if you see the earth
There are thousands of helpless, poor people
They lack sufficient food to eat
And sufficient clothes to wear
Please share your love and care with them
Send them a little of what you earn
Your caring, and your sharing can soothe their burning bellies
And bring peace to their lives
We are part of them
And they are part of us
So your shares, your cares
Can teach you the true happiness in life
Think of every helpless person as a friend
Love them from the core of your heart
Think of them as singing birds
