If the wheels fall off,
be at peace.
If death is near,
be at peace.
When winter comes,
be at peace.
When you've run out,
be at peace.
We own nothing
control nothing
Hold on tight
but remain wanting.
Cause we all own nothing,
we control nothing.
Hold on tight
but still remain wanting.
It's meaningless, it's meaningless.
The rivers run but never overflow.
So I give up.
And then I'm blessed.
Then I win.
There I live.
There I die.
Hills are for those who know.
Hills are for those who can climb them
for those who ride them
reach only valleys.
