Berklee Spring ‘22 Songs for Social Change (S4SC) 
Berklee Spring ‘22 Earthapalooza Showcase Song

"Life" is a Chinese song with national characteristics. The special inspiration of this song stems from the precious and priceless natural landscape that we can see every day in our daily routine, but coincidentally which is most easily ignored part for us. For example, as mentioned in my lyrics, "earth, sky, mountains and rivers; Jade tree, scorching sun, wind flower, snow moon...". Their changing process is "Appear, disappear, survive, destroy." All things in the world have balance, and balance is harmony. This contrast is what I learned and felt from the natural classroom. Based on the above findings, if we think carefully and deeply, the change of nature also mirrors the change of mankind. This is what is happening around us day and night, and so is our life.

Lyrics translation:
V:
Earth, sky, mountains and rivers Desert, grassland, shrub, oasis Forest, desert, mire, stone Bloom, decline, maintain, change
Spring flowers, summer rain, autumn wind, winter snow Petals drop and waters flow, immeasurably vast difference Jade tree, scorching sun, wind flower, snow moon Appear, disappear, survive, destroy
C:
There are all things in the world, but all lives equal
Life is endless, day and night
Praise life and release nature
Respect life and sincere hearts correspond with each other

Solo

V2:
Opportunity, regret, stay, or drift
Love and hate, sorrow and joy, gain and lose Respect, slander, invert the cause and effect Chaos, limpid, tells eternity
C:
There are all things in the world, but all lives equal
Life is endless, day and night
Praise life and release nature
Respect life and sincere hearts correspond with each other
V3:
Life is like a journey
Rolling forward, everything is clear
