When the Law Returns
When the Law Returns - When towers of pride have turned to dust, And crowns of power decay to rust, When human schemes have had their day, A deeper light will find its way.

When towers of pride have turned to dust,
And crowns of power decay to rust,
When human schemes have had their day,
A deeper light will find its way.
.
Beneath the noise of fractured lands,
Beyond the reach of mortal hands,
The ancient current, vast and true,
Waits to make all things anew.
.
Not born of force, nor forged by might,
But rising soft as morning light,
The Law returns where hearts are clear,
Where truth outlives both doubt and fear.
.
Through silent change in soul and mind,
Through kindness chosen, refined,
The pattern lost through ages long
Is restored in sacred song.
.
When the Law returns to stand,
Heaven aligns with earth and man.
Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance rise —
Like golden dawn across the skies.
All that was broken finds its place,
Renewed within the Fa’s embrace.
.
No chaos reigns where virtue leads,
No darkness thrives where conscience heeds.
The stars themselves seem bright and clear
When higher order reappears.
.
Through countless trials the heart was tried,
Through shifting worlds and swelling tide,
Yet what is righteous cannot fall —
The Law was always over all.
.
What seemed concealed was never gone,
Like hidden sun before the dawn.
Through storm and shadow, loss and flame,
The timeless Way remains the same.
.
When the Law returns in light,
Wrong dissolves and wrongs make right.
Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance reign —
A world made whole, restored again.
From ash and sorrow, hope ascends —
And heaven’s order gently bends.
.
So let the heart be first renewed,
In quiet strength and gratitude.
For when the Law stands firm and true,
The world begins again — in you.

In all of our songs, we hear the words “FA” or “DAFA.” Some people may wonder what these terms mean. Here is a brief explanation (for a more detailed understanding of this topic, we recommend the book "Zhuan Falun", which can also be read online):
FA or DAFA: A Chinese Buddhist term, this can be translated as “Great Way,” “Great Law”—the principles of the Universe, which are: Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.
