Lyrics of Xu Wei's "life is more than the present"

Mother sat in front of the door

Humming flowers and youth

Although it has been many years

I remember her tears

Those dark days

Those who insist and panic

At the parting door

Mother looked at me and said

Life is more than just the present

There are poems and distant fields

You came into the world with your bare hands

Desperate to find the sea

She sat opposite me

Bow to say goodbye

Although it has been many years

I remember her tears

The time of laughter

Those vows and dreams

On the street of parting

She hugged me and said

Life is more than just the present

There are poems and distant fields

You came into the world with your bare hands

Desperate to find the sea

I'm on my own

There is a boy under the knee

Young people grow up day by day

I'm leaving home one day

Look at the growth of his back

Look at his persistence and look back

I know one day

I'll smile and say to him

Life is more than just the present

There are poems and distant fields

You came into the world with your bare hands

Desperate to find the sea

Life is more than just the present

There are poems and distant fields

You came into the world with your bare hands

Desperate to find the sea

Life is more than just the present

There are poems and distant fields

You came into the world with your bare hands

Desperate to find the sea

Life is more than just the present

There are poems and distant fields

You came into the world with your bare hands

Desperate to find the sea
