Will we be able to sacrifice Our lives In order to protect Those we love? Will I brandish The sword of peace In my hand And fight? Are the spirits Who sleep here Us before we're born? Each time a white dove Alights The treetops rustle The midday moon In the land I arrive at At the end of the winding road I hear a voice Like my distant brother Saying, ah, live in my stead There's a shimmering haze Behind the old person Who hangs their head And keeps praying Who will see The endless sorrow We embrace? On days when The sound of crickets chirping rains down The dazzling sky Is dyed blue In the land my wandering heart Is called back to I hear a song Like my gentle sister Saying, ah, you will not die A white dove Takes flight Heading for the light Ahead of its wings People cross The endlessly flowing River of tears Never forgetting As time passes We come to know Life's fragility Life's preciousness In the land I arrive at At the end of the winding road I hear a voice Like my distant brother Ah, be strong for your own sake
