The Temple

歌詞

The temple was bombed in the war My grandmother saw the flames She was only18, living on to 93 And her heart started beating inside of me And her heart started beating inside of me My mind, always restless, always going from one place to another But my body, I got from my mother And courage from my father The temple was reconstructed by the landmark of Tokyo The tourists at the tower looking down below The monk, the incense, and summer green Sunday protesters and quarantine My mind, always restless, always going from one place to another But my body, I got from my mother And a stutter from my father I am life, you are life We’re all in this together, all part of this creation At the temple where the souls live on in the mountains The morning birds tell it all
