The same sky hangs above our heads This moment is soon to pass As long as gods light shines on us We wake with hope in our hearts This place on earth - may it be blessed Where I can lay my head to rest When I end my long journey I'll bid you farewell cheerfully Dry leaf drifting in the wind There comes an end to everything For every tree there comes a day When its last flower fades away I'll leave my humble footprint On this riverbank's paving Waves wash it all away so slow It floats away with the flow Of all your friends, one must be true A loyal one to bury you To say goodbye for one last time Comfort the others left behind
