yet keep the childlike wonder.
Though dreams be rent asunder
our wishes still have wings.

With absolutely nothing to gain
Perhaps in time I will be strong
You see! Solitude is not my favourite song

of a life?
To please mummy & daddy?
To find a home for their furniture?

Let me hold them here in safe keep...
Let me cradle the fears
you've held all these years...

And ships that slowly glide to far-off shores
Each one a separate world with its own laws;

I have been flowing all the way for this
The fathomless deeps, full of diamonds.

Like frantic cries of impotence

To reduce weight I took two bags.

Feeling freedom you have given to do duty,
Every action I surrender to you dear father.

As a tale as old as time, it takes more than a bloodstone to start.
Wanting to give the unpolished diamonds to the worthy one,

Growing wild beside green field of light,
As dawn has appeared suddenly in love,
We have grown with green beauty and joy.

And settled everywhere;

When fires have burnt your forest bare and black,
And you are parched and dizzy, and search in vain
For pools in dust unvisited of rain,

I let the world take care of itself.
Ten days' worth of rice in my bag;
a bundle of twigs by the fireplace.

From birth to the last sighing breath of the grave
