Water drips from open ceiling
In an older time
When the light was much softer
And the noise that filled the air
Was the gentle hymn of zen mind
Honkyoku
All I hear
Honkyoku
Flowers bloom along the roadside
Red colors glisten feeding my mind
Sound of the water the sunlight
Thoughts shatter bright mind
Clouds all disperse
Leaving me high and dry
Honkyoku
All I hear
Sound of nature
Komusu gently playing
Gaze out at the slope of the mountain
Pouring the stream as it eases down
Blow out the light as we welcome darkness
Stars shining bright as we say good night
Dark night all is bright
Sounds here nobody there
Sun gone moon at dawn
Tree song humming along
Dark night all is bright
Sounds here nobody there
Sun gone moon at dawn
Tree song humming along
Humming along
Humming along
