Your Mother's Secret
All the streets were beginning to empty as I see a light
And the corners start whispering gently as I hear a sound
‘Twas a light too pure and too raw, not like I had so found
‘Twas a sound too serene that my soul was transported outright
To a world that is crumbling and mourning from the night 'til morning
To a world of thorns that was born of the forlorn mourning
Whose roses not red but gray
Whose clouds not white but blue
Whose skies not blue but red
A world that existed that no one knew
The world not like the world we see today
A world to come that was left unsaid
A world that is crumbling and mourning from the night 'til morning
A world of thorns that was born of the forlorn mourning
Whose trees not dead but rotting
Whose humans lazy but moving
Whose waters moving but dead
" All my damages I turned to dam'ging "
" All my hurt I turned to hurting "
" All my tears I turned to flood "
" And all these I did not mean to do "
" But how could I not, when you "
" Took my caring hands that never goes bad "
" And also the only heart I had! "
" Sorry my children for I'm growing old "
" Don't be noisy for I'm feeling cold "
" I can't keep my secret for so long "
" So I have to tell you I'm not feeling strong "
" My child, may I ask you some questions? "
" I hope you answer with no objections "
" If I tell you I'm ill will you find the cure? "
…
…
…
" And when I die will you still call me mother nature? "
