The lyric presents this passage twice, separated by an instrumental interlude. Compare the two expressions rather than treating the text as instructions for the listener’s life. The edition name is retained without claiming certified pronunciation or a traditional vocal technique.

Folk-soul combines folk and soul influences. Soul has rhythm-and-blues and gospel roots; it is not simply praise for a song with feeling. Notice emphasis, pauses or replies to a short phrase. The brief requests a six-beat sway but names no time signature, so this edition is not automatically labelled 6/8.

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] 天地不仁,以萬物為芻狗; 聖人不仁,以百姓為芻狗。 天地之間,其猶橐籥乎?虛而不屈,動而愈出。 多言數窮,不如守中。 [Instrumental Interlude] [Final Reprise] 天地不仁,以萬物為芻狗; 聖人不仁,以百姓為芻狗。 天地之間,其猶橐籥乎?虛而不屈,動而愈出。 多言數窮,不如守中。 [Instrumental Outro]
