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
