I vow to live this day with love— Walk on the Earth

121908 Song after the Dharma Talk by Sister Lich Nghiem, at AIAB Plum Village Hong Kong Composed by Sze Chai Lyrics: There’s a time, when the sun starts to fall When the fire and tears come along The life of an innocent child is risking its all Is there hope comes with with dawn? There’s a time, I wish to do something more But I’m all alone, I cannot be strong Though the sun has risen, it’s hard to feel its warmth On this path, please guide me along! It’s time to stop It’s time to breathe It’s time to take care of myself It’s not a fault to take a walk in peace and harmony How can I heal a wounded heart If I only see the dark It’s gonna change tomorrow Because I vow to live this day with love There’s a time, I take a little pause The world seems so different than before My friends still smiling, my beloved still alive There is hope, and love can re-born! It’s time to stop It’s time to breathe It’s time to take care of myself It’s not a fault to take a walk in peace and harmony How can I heal a wounded heart If I only see the dark It’s gonna change tomorrow Because I vow to live this day with love I vow to talk I vow to think I vow to act only out of love Though in the darkest phase of time, there is no hatred and no fear Our compassion is the light Guides us to pass through the night It’s gonna change tomorrow Because I vow to live this day with love It’s gonna change tomorrow Because I vow to live this day with love
