Open Hands
Embracing Life's Seasons: The Power of Open Hands
Lyrics
Winter wears it's Sunday best
Winter is at its most impressive or beautiful state.
The frozen world it's throne
The icy world holds a position of power and authority.
Life will show it's ugliness
Life will reveal its unpleasant aspects.
And you will be alone
You will experience solitude in the face of life's challenges.
So live your life with open hands
Choose to live your life with generosity and receptivity.
And bind your heart above the land
Direct your emotions and affections toward higher principles.
After storms and bitter cold
After facing difficulties and harsh conditions,
You'll have everything and nothing to hold
You'll possess both abundance and emptiness.
I have seen the snow before
Having experienced challenges before,
So listen closely friend
Listen carefully, my friend.
I don't know what waits ahead
The future is uncertain,
But you can count on the end
But you can be certain of the eventual conclusion.
The spring comes rumbling
Spring, a season of renewal, is approaching.
And it's worth hanging around to hope to see
It's worthwhile to endure and anticipate better times.
So live your life with open hands
Live your life with a giving and open spirit.
And bind your heart above the land
Anchor your emotions and connections to higher ideals.
After storms and bitter cold
After enduring challenges and hardships,
You'll have everything and nothing to hold
You'll possess both abundance and emptiness.
I've been worried and anxious
Experienced moments of worry and anxiety,
A snake whispering in my ear
A metaphorical snake has been causing inner turmoil.
Cos I know that we'll disperse
Acknowledging the inevitable dispersal of relationships.
And I know that it'll hurt
Understanding that parting will bring pain.
But I'm certain we'll meet again soon
Confident in the eventual reunion.
O, I'm certain we'll meet again soon
Expressing certainty about meeting again in the future.
