Each day the ox ploughs the fieldÂ
The chickens peck and the dogs walk up the street sniffingÂ
Nothing ever changesÂ
Here even the volcano stands still
Then one dayÂ
The ox diesÂ
The chicken is slaughteredÂ
The dog gets sickÂ
The volcano is burning redÂ
The landscape charredÂ
Everything changesÂ
One year later....
the ox ploughs the fieldÂ
The chickens peck and the dogs walk up the street sniffingÂ
AndÂ
The same old mirror reflectsÂ
An inner smileÂ
