Oh Don't go too far Don't go too far, while I pray for you Don't go too far Stop fighting and travel with me, there's no enemy, oh stay Oh Don't go too far Don't go too far, while I wait for you Don't go too far It's not a war field, it's just a field With mountains and plains Oh Why do we keep Fighting when there's no enemy? Just stay with me, Just stay with me my baby oh ll take care of you. Oh I see a star I see a star upon our blind heads We'll never reach But we can lay and watch it while we love Together. Oh Why do we have To move somewhere else? Isn't it ok? Isn't it ok to stay here baby? Nothing over there. Oh I remember when I remember when I went too far Drowned was my heart, I tried to reach the star but it was far Further than far Now I know there's no choice but staying here And love whole life No past, no future, I love you so and No, I won't stop Oh I remember when I remember when I reached the end It was so deep, It was so deep and I had no choice but returning to home. Now Now we are together among the great river Oh always change Oh always change, no eternity So now I love you Oh Remember you Remember you trying to reach your dream And then you fell You fell down to the deepest hell But now We're still here. And now I know there's no choice but staying here And enjoying life Enjoying life for what it is With you, Oh my love.

Oh Don't go too far Don't go too far, while I pray for you Don't go too far Stop fighting and travel with me, there's no enemy, oh stay Oh Don't go too far Don't go too far, while I wait for you Don't go too far It's not a war field, it's just a field With mountains and plains Oh Why do we keep Fighting when there's no enemy? Just stay with me, Just stay with me my baby oh ll take care of you. Oh I see a star I see a star upon our blind heads We'll never reach But we can lay and watch it while we love Together. Oh Why do we have To move somewhere else? Isn't it ok? Isn't it ok to stay here baby? Nothing over there. Oh I remember when I remember when I went too far Drowned was my heart, I tried to reach the star but it was far Further than far Now I know there's no choice but staying here And love whole life No past, no future, I love you so and No, I won't stop Oh I remember when I remember when I reached the end It was so deep, It was so deep and I had no choice but returning to home. Now Now we are together among the great river Oh always change Oh always change, no eternity So now I love you Oh Remember you Remember you trying to reach your dream And then you fell You fell down to the deepest hell But now We're still here. And now I know there's no choice but staying here And enjoying life Enjoying life for what it is With you, Oh my love.
I made this poem on the Korean traditional song "Arirang", You can try singing this along with the song, it fits it (I think it sounds better if you search the piano version). This writing is about knowing that if we believe life is a fight and problems are enemies, life will be full of suffering, because anytime we fail, it's a defeat and we feel useless or unworthy of living. While if we believe life is a travel and problems are just obstacles, life is much more peaceful. Thanks to this "trick" I overcame a very bad period near to depression, I think it can be useful for everyone. Then it's about life having nothing at the end of it but death, it's about living in the present, solving the problems and remorses of the past calmly, trying to find a concrete solution in the present instead of dwelling about the past. About living the present free from the anxieties of the future, accepting our limits, accepting that reality is transitory, it continuously changes: when we're in a bad period, it will pass, when we're in a happy period, we can enjoy it the most till the day we'll have to say goodbye to it. We have to accept life with its transitory nature I believe. Also it's about believing everything is pure conscience and that this frees us from existential pain, like the fear of death and loss (from Buddhism, if I understood it well) Then the lover here is not a specific person, it's anyone: a friend, a mum, a dad.. It's love in general, not a couple. Sorry for the long text, just wanted to share this, I think it's useless if keep this thing in my phone only lol Hope you enjoy it :)
