命は炎
そして雨にもなる
花を見つめる その瞳
来年の桜も綺麗かな
それは僕らの命次第
生きとし生ける すべての心へ
命の歌を
張りつめた糸のような
この一瞬の繰り返し
影も形もない魂が
無常に苦しみ 今日を生きる
命とは
一瞬一瞬を
生き続けること
壊れてしまうものだから
人は優しくなれる
消えてしまうものだから
光は美しい
命は炎
そして風にもなる
燃え尽きるまで 歌は流れる
風が火を煽るように
この歌もまた ひとつの灯（あかり）
生きとし生ける すべての心へ
命の歌を
繊細な筆の穂先も
命を支える細い綱
切れたら元には戻らない
戻れないから今日も書く
命を燃やして
消えない漆黒の線を
重ね続ける
命とは
儚いもの
桜の美しさに
涙する夜もある
命とは
拾われるもの
かすかながら誇らしい運に
救われた夜もある
命は炎
そして血（ち）にもなる
大地も人も揺れていく
たった一度の この命で
今も僕らは生きている
生きとし生ける すべての心へ
命の歌を

Song of Life
kneeking Records
Kneeking Records presents "Song of Life", a philosophical ballad inspired by the definitions of life found in three Japanese dictionaries.
Drawing from Shinmeikai Kokugo Jiten, Meikyo Kokugo Jiten, and Kojien, the song explores the meaning of life through different perspectives, singing of both the beauty and fragility of living each passing moment.
Eyes gazing upon cherry blossoms.
A flame that continues to burn.
A heart swaying in the wind.
And jet-black lines drawn by the tip of a brush.
What is life?
Why do people suffer, and yet continue to live?
The words discovered along the Dictionary Journey have become a song, carried to the hearts of all living beings.
Will the cherry blossoms be just as beautiful next year?
That depends on whether we are here to see them.
Words and life.
Calligraphy and music.
Philosophy and prayer.
A hymn to life born from the Dictionary Journey.
