from the slightest flight of wings in the night
found a resting place to wait for a new days light

where flowers bloom in scents and fragrance
as the hues of life glow through in a far distance

with rainbows bridging the earth and the skies
so as our time that comes and goes swift as it flies

so live today with borrowed smiles and sorrows
for nothing in this world would stay on our tomorrows

forever won’t be here to cling on for dreams of glory
nor does our body that soon feels weak and weary

let us be here and create a paradise to call our own
with birds singing a melody soft as the air blown

touching every flower kissing the morning dew
whispering a promise that brings a hope a new

let your spirit afloat in delights of life’s splendor
and swill the sweetest wine of paradise to savor
