Nothing should last forever

The wind keeps blowing when it turns

A cage can still imprison when it releases

A corpse turns to ashes when it burns

But anyway, everything ceases

Even if every change brings new things

We are stuck in the end of the strings

In this life, everything must pass

This is painful for a heart made of glass

Each moment will fade away like childhood

Every sadness will end with something good

Every happiness will end in its ruins

And it depends on what you are doing

Either way, nothing lasts

Only time heals

Then your mind reveals

That it is better to forget the pasts

The wind stops when it finds a wall

A cage does not imprison when it is broken

The ashes disappear when they fall

The future may be better when it is open
