Chapter 3: The Words You Hide

Where do we go? How strange, but I don’t know!
The words you hide, would they mean more than the things you show?
Then you look at me — is it my fault? Is it my fault?
Blind out inside, it’s hard but I try
I wonder if the words we’d share could match your smile …
Then you smile at me, and I feel you! Yes, I feel you …
Future … unsure … failure … am I?
How do they see you? … perceive you? … so untrue!
Within the woods we hide — It looks as if they bleed
A million trees in sight — their branches are crushing me
I’d fell them all to pave a path for you … I’d make them fall just to protect
you …
And the cold wind hurts my eyes — amongst the whirling leaves
It’s as if I heard your cries … as if you’re calling me
How will you quit these woods when I am gone?
An endless dream … wake up, wake up, wake up!
So angry … in frailty … who’s guilty? … not fair!
It breaks me and wounds me … so violently … so where do we go?
Once in a lullaby, songs from another time … so bright …
Hear our melody, bring back this time to me … tonight, here tonight …
Peacefully see how you breathe while you sleep …
Needless to speak to be near …
Sing, like we did before … lite and alive once more … inside me …
Rise like a violin and climb from the deep … Melody, come back to me!
Breathe with you now, yes, I breathe in your beat
While we breathe we compose our own symphonies
And I breathe with you now … and the air that we breathe
Fills my own wordless silence with our old melody
Feel things that I should know, they seem so long ago … inside …
Stay for a moment, please rest for a while … give me my peace back, tonight.
Melody, where are you gone? If I lift my head … what will I see?
Look up, look up now … No sound, but only icy wind … again, again, again …
Thoughts — here you stay … still the same, day by day
I hope those thoughts I bear will not divert you away
Then I stare at you, do you see it? Do you see it?
Worn out … look down … weak as I am …
Worn out … can’t go on like this … no more …
Here I am alone, silence all around … hide out, hide away
Open up my eyes, see the leaves surrounding me …
Pick them up, pick them up … then I face up to their weight
And I raise my head — at least I try — raise my hand and let them fly …
Rise up, rise up now …
And suddenly, beyond the trees, a passage past the long uncertainties!
I wonder why I did not see before …
It was never far but always near — I dared to lift my head yet you showed me
To face it though the end of this way’s not clear …
Now I look ahead, walk in your beat to carry my responsibility
Fly, my leaf, just fly away with me … Come this way, please, come with me …
It’s full of light and full of melodies! Take your time 'cos I will wait for you
