I was walking down the street
To exercise my feet and freshen up a bit
Then I saw you from a distance
You are standing tall, fresh and gorgeous
I can't help myself I stop and stare
You are the reason why this long road is alive
The mild scent of yours everywhere it lingers
Giving this lonely heart to move on to life

While walking I am wondering
Why I can't be like you, so strong and tough
After a long winter, fall and drought
You're still there, offering your love and beauty
Though your chance is just once a year
Then you complain nothing, but giving as much as you can be
Cool shades, beautiful flowers in white, pink or purple
Your lover buzzing around you, can't have enough, there's a lot more

But when your time has done
When your beauty withered, fell and gone
They will sweep off your dead flowers and leaves
And leave you behind after cutting off your twigs
But again you complain nothing, and with a bitter smile
There standing still, tall and strong throughout the seasons
You will go back to sleep again or die for awhile
In your heart and in your dreams, another chance will come again
That you could offer your love and beauty and make everyone happy

My feet lead me back to home
My mind freshen up, my heart found a new hope
I know I can't be like you my cherry blossoms
I'm a person and I have all the chances, all the seasons
I could decide for my life and don't just depend by nature
I can be happy, life is beautiful that I should norture
With love, and faith and share this to all my love ones
Today I will begin again, you inspired me to start a new life
To be content and to fulfill what's my heart's desire
