Mornings in spring, there's a new light softly dawning on all the living things
From the new grass comes bright flowers that are sated by warm showers and fresh air

Chorus:
Cycle of the seasons in a line without an end
Circle in a spiral, no beginning and no end

Middays of summer come brightly dancing with desire, passion lit, burning flame
Moving ever faster, turning to the sun's light ever higher, alive like fire

Autumn twilight cannot hide the vibrant colors, red and gold, rusty hues
One and another, they leap like notes of fluid music, falling like water

In the cycles of the circles mirrored by the moon
Ever winding no ended-line, and in the dead of winter change
There is life waiting for spring

Winter night owl, there is white of ice and snow and the bare black bones of trees
In spirit harmony with bright birds and berries and the evergreens growing in cold earth
