Time is always slipping away
Cruel to some, a promise to others
Time moves on, and people die
And still, new life is born
You were laughing here yesterday
I can almost hear your voice
Everything born must fade someday
Every flower has to fall
Nothing in this world
Was ever meant to stay
The wind says nothing
As it passes by
No time for goodbye
No final words
A pair of shoes left behind
One fallen petal
The winds of impermanence
Come when they will
Carrying off the life
That was here just yesterday
Like petals on the wind
Oh, winds of impermanence
Ah, restless wind
And here we are
Alive today
A flower still green
Can be the first to fall
While one grown old and withered
Stays to watch it go
Flowers don't fall
In the order that they bloom
Nothing was promised
And time waits for no one
The ones we long
To see just one more time
Are always the ones
Fading beyond the wind
Yet if everything must change
Then maybe one day
This sorrow
Will change too
The winds of impermanence
Come when they will
Scattering flowers
As the wind blows through
Time moves on, and people die
And still, new life is born
Oh, winds of impermanence
Ah, restless wind
And still we carry on
Still we live
There is no forever
That's why we have today
Nothing in this world
Was ever meant to stay
And that is why, right now
I choose to love you
The winds of impermanence
Come when they will
Someday I know
They'll come for me
If I never know
When that day will be
I'll leave nothing of today
Unlived
Oh, winds of impermanence
Ah, restless wind
Blow if you must
Until then
I'll be right here
Time moves on, and people die
And still, new life is born
Beyond the petals
Scattered on the wind
A new flower sways
In the passing wind

Winds of Impermanence
kneeking Records
"Winds of Impermanence" is the English version of the Japanese song "Mujō no Kaze," inspired by the words mujō (impermanence), mujō no kaze (the winds of impermanence), and mujō jinsoku (the swiftness of impermanence). Everything that is born must one day fade, and every flower that blooms must eventually fall. Yet if everything is always changing, sorrow cannot last forever either. Because nothing lasts forever, we have today. A song about life, love, and embracing the present in the ever-changing flow of time.
