[Intro]
Empty-handed you and me, we're all empty-handed
Empty-handed come, empty-handed go, you'll understand as you live
[Verse 1]
You come into the world with empty hands
And you'll leave with empty hands
In spring, the cherry blossoms
Fall one by one in the wind
[Chorus]
Love is futile, wealth and fame are futile
Life that everyone passes through, you'll feel at peace when you let it go
Empty-handed come, empty-handed go, empty-handed come, empty-handed go
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Empty-handed you and me, we're all empty-handed
Empty-handed come, empty-handed go, you'll understand as you live
[Verse 2]
You come into the world with empty hands
And you'll leave with empty hands
Life is like the morning mist
Flowing like the clouds
[Chorus]
Love is futile, wealth and fame are futile
Life that everyone passes through, you'll feel at peace when you let it go
Empty-handed come, empty-handed go, empty-handed come, empty-handed go
[Outro]
Empty-handed come, empty-handed go
