The art of living is hard to master,
The art of dying is easy to learn,
Life makes the world go faster and faster.
With honest work, you make living better,
Work hard and earn a good life in return,
The art of living is hard to master.
The good life blooms, a beautiful aster—
Look at it once, and your whole world will turn,
Life makes the world go faster and faster.
Once in a while, life brings us disaster;
When hardships strike, inside us we burn,
The art of living is hard to master.
When life is lived right, it’s solid like plaster—
By living rightly, rightful place we earn,
Life makes the world go faster and faster.
In life God is the ultimate caster;
Heaven’s reward one can only yearn.
The art of living is hard to master,
Life makes the world go faster and faster.
