They Fall
 
You came to me in a dream
this time you knealt at the side of my bed
as if to tell my I’m dying
I represtent that metaphor, you said


I saw the shadow of my cancer
as I cressed the Erzebet Hid
from riches to rags you left your home behind
now I search for mine


I don’t know where it is I belong
everywhere and nowhere
I search my heart for
a familiar place and
the comfort of a tender face


I find no one


The ghosts of my past,
swirl and dance around my body
as I pound these streets
of my Fathers country


The echoes of my heritage
my ancesters draw near
all too old too male dominated
the heaviness breaks my bones
the heaviness broke my Spirit
before I had time to breathe
before I had the inclination to sing
my first note to my first beat.


I don’t know where it is I belong…


Mountain cave damp monastery
sheltered just a few
to save from certain pain of death
to offer life a new


My plight not so actual
my Soul however is torn
my ribs remind me of all I still carry
my cancer in plain view to me…FINALLY
So I walk and I wait yeah
I walk and I wait yeah
I walk and wait
for these tears to fall


Yeah I walk and I wait
yeah I walk and I wait
I walk and I wait
for these precious Holy tears to fall


They Fall
