Ikigai Lyrics

My passion, Ikigai, my life, purposeful
Passion, purpose, promise, pathway
Passion, what I live for, purpose, why I live it, promise, my potential, path-way
My Ikigai
My Ikigai, how I see, how I hear, how I think, how I feel
My passion, Ikigai, my life, purposeful

Joyful, the happy moments in the present  
Joyful, the happy mem‘ries, contemplation
Frame of mind, embracing optimism 
Frame of heart, embracing community
Little things that bring joy, here in the moment, life in the present
Living in the Zen flow, taking it slow, you know, grateful for my consciousness
Living purpose, my Ikigai, feeling joyful, my Ikigai, mindful lifestyle, my Ikigai, life in balance, my Ikigai
Embracing true me, living with intention, in the moment, never rushing
Living my true self, finding life of learning, satisfaction, meditation, pacifistic

My passion, Ikigai, my life, purposeful
Passion, purpose, promise, pathway
Passion, what I live for, purpose, why I live it, promise, my potential, path-way
My Ikigai
My Ikigai, how I see, how I hear, how I think, how I feel
My passion, Ikigai, my life, purposeful
Ikigai
