If you knew that happiness won’t last
Would you shed another tear
And if sadness too will go away
Then there’s no place left for fear
Cause the rain may chase away the sunshine
The moon outshines the stars
In this ever shifting universe
This is where you really are
If you knew that wars would somehow stop
But peace will never stay
Would your sadness bring you to your knees
Would you stride the Eightfold Way
Cause the sun will chase away the starlight
And rainbows will appear
In this ever shifting universe
All that’s true is now and here
Now and here will come and go
Not much time to learn and know
Now and here will not reserve
In this ever shifting universe
So the Buddha’s words do ring so true
That we’re in a constant change
Mind and form will never stay the same
What once was must rearrange
Cause the stars may fall down from the skies
Right into the oceans blue
In this ever shifting universe
What you are is never you
Would you shed another tear
And if sadness too will go away
Then there’s no place left for fear
Cause the rain may chase away the sunshine
The moon outshines the stars
In this ever shifting universe
This is where you really are
If you knew that wars would somehow stop
But peace will never stay
Would your sadness bring you to your knees
Would you stride the Eightfold Way
Cause the sun will chase away the starlight
And rainbows will appear
In this ever shifting universe
All that’s true is now and here
Now and here will come and go
Not much time to learn and know
Now and here will not reserve
In this ever shifting universe
So the Buddha’s words do ring so true
That we’re in a constant change
Mind and form will never stay the same
What once was must rearrange
Cause the stars may fall down from the skies
Right into the oceans blue
In this ever shifting universe
What you are is never you
