Gong
Somewhere the bells are ringing
As we greet the seasons that come and go together
I walk with those I love
But after fifty years
I’ll be parted from some of them
Gone, gone, gone
Though we rejoice in many springs
And endure many winters
But after a hundred years
Many lives will be gone
Gone, gone, gone
Left behind in someone’s heart
Someone’s memory
But after a thousand years
Most memories fade away
Gong, gong, gong, gong
The bell rings again
To announce the birth of a new life
The friends we once had, the lives we once had, the memories we once had
Will be replaced by the prophecy of the future
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Ten thousand years and then some more
We cry, we laugh, we get angry
I think of those who are alive then
Smiling quietly
Somewhere a bell is ringing
Gong
