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
