East Tea, West Coffee

 Different flavors, same impact to recharge; every sip a feel that we’ll be ok. East tea, west coffee, bitter, different, stimulating...

Morning in the skyline, 

steam in the kettle deep,
different kinds of comfort in -

the warm atmosphere.
East side leaves are whispering,

 soft bitter,
West side beans are waking up,

open glowing.
a brand new day in front of us,

different ways to taste the life,
I’ve learned the world’s complexities —

So I’m reaching for ease.

East tea, west coffee,
tell me what you’re feeling with-

 frustrations at the moment,
In every quiet cup, 

every bit of bitterness,
we’re just trying to -

feel relaxing,

calm down, 

without too rushing.

East tea, west coffee,
one globe, two flavors, 

and we continue our journey to—

taste the world of differences.
So pour what you’re given, 

let it carry you through -

aroma spilling out.
Yeah, east tea, west coffee,

we enjoy both,

with different taste.

I’ve seen long shadows by-

 the window light,
reading the future like-

the tea leave patterns.
And I’ve seen midnight coffee steam,
stronger than the doubts that come…

Different flavors, 

same goal to boost spirit,
we can also blend them to -

taste the world in-between.

East tea, west coffee,
tell me what you’re doing with -

your stress tonight.
In every quiet cup, 

every rush of things,
we’re just trying to feel alright.
East tea, west coffee,
one world, two flavors, 

and we’re still on the way to-

shape fresh viewpoints.
so pour what you’re given, 

let it carry you through-

 the day and night, with seasonal shift.
Yeah, east tea, west coffee.

If the world gets loud, 

I’ll find my quiet rhythm,
hold the warmth, 

let it teach me what I need to know.
Not one question, 

not one answer, 

not one taste,
just different perspective to -

understand our vast world.

East tea, west coffee,
we’re appreciating-

the moments of refreshing,

and a mind full of energy.
Different flavors, 

same impact to recharge;
every sip a feel that we’ll be all right.
East tea, west coffee,

bitter, different, stimulating,
so raise your cup,

where you stand—

right now, don’t wait.
Whatever’s on the list, 

we’re the ones who appreciate global taste
Yeah, east tea, west coffee.
