The only place where we can weep
Is inside of us – silent and deep …
I feel empty, as tears have been dried
But my heart still full of pride
In trusting  each of us survives
In the fulfilling of our lives …

Time is running by  so fast
But being convinced of one thing at last
We will be bound together for ever
As love  carries us, and leaves us never …
So look up in the tree, hear the birds sing
Breath on the rhythm of its wing
Give mercy to it all;  let sadness behind
To find Peace and Harmony in your mind …
