As Long As the World Exists

As long as the sky's above me,
There's a place to call home.
As long as the earth's below me,
There's a support for my frame.
As long as nature's around me,
There's a way to find food.
Why should I worry about my body,
When all its needs are satisfied?

As long as the world exists,
Thoughts never cease to be.
As long as the sun still rises,
Paths are clear to see.
As long as the moon still shines,
Dreams will set you free.
Why must my mind feel the limits,
When its limits are decided by me?

As long as the wind is blowing,
I won't give up on my hopes.
As long as the land is standing,
I will endure my hardships.
As long as the rivers are flowing,
I won't drown in my sorrows.
As long as the fire is burning,
I will find my happiness.
As long as the clouds are forming,
I will realize my inner peace.
Why would my soul be breaking,
When it's part of life's greatness?

As long as the time's still running,
Why should I give up on living?
