Life is Art

Liang Tung

Life is art

Don’t lock us inside

Let us go out

Life is art

New places

Have a fresh start

Life is art

Through time

Make it grow

Life is art

It can be attractive

Or dull, dull

Life is art

Keep progressing

Cheerful dreams come true

Life is art

It is created by you

And I

Life is art

Out of suffering

You feel appreciation

Life is art

Crafty hands

Make it shine

Life is art

Brighten yourself

And others

Life is art

Make the sparkle continue

Light precious life bright
