    The Path to Heaven

    So many in this world are divine, hailing from above
    They came to await the Way, to read the golden book
    But alas—so fraught with peril is this mortal world
    Seeking fame and fortune, man sinks into the abyss
    But with whom did they sign that pledge, long ago?
    Their loved ones in heaven worry over them so
    Status, wealth, obsession, enmity—all end up in vain
    Hasten to seek truth, the path to heaven

    For What is Life?

    For whom do I make haste, all life long?
    Status, wealth, love—all lead to pain
    In the end, I know not who I am
    Heaven offers not a word as I wander, confused
    Yet right in our midst, the Dafa now spreads
    Awareness can steer this wayward ship
    Truth calls us to tell good from evil
    With our true selves found, heaven awaits

    The Choice

    Friends:
    Of your long-cherished hope I sing
    Truth shall restore your true thoughts
    And rekindle memories of your age-old promise,
    Helping you fulfill those ancient vows
    Be not deceived by the lies, born of suppression
    For truth is the key to life
    I hope for all lives to escape misfortune
    As good and evil contest,
    The divine honor their word  

    The Only Hope

    It was formed over the ages
    Five millennia of glory, in turmoil today
    The final stage now arrives
    For history holds: where there is creation, extinction
    Yet all hope is not lost
    The Creator has not forgotten mankind
    But in this illusory place, you must see the truth
    In the followers of Dafa lies the lone hope of salvation
