Your time on earth is short my friend
How fast the petals fall!
What you've damaged, attempt to mend
Before you leave it all
Wars and treacheries, poisoned seas
How fast the petals fall!
Strive to mitigate such as these
Before you leave it all
Some wrongs run too deep down to right
How fast the petals fall!
Move on by keeping your footsteps light
Before you leave it all
The world has wonders yet to show
How fast the petals fall!
For those unborn, pray leave it so
Before you leave it all
Feather and flesh, things furred and finned
How fast the petals fall!
Help them flourish where man has sinned
Before you leave it all
Empty your mind. Go, sit alone
How fast the petals fall!
Be as the pool, the tree, the stone
Before you leave it all
Death makes short work of your hopes and dreams
He comes for one and all
Sweeping away ambition's schemes
May all that's hurt be whole
