Songs of Burning - Dearest Friend

Don’t give up

If not for yourself then for this city

We need you here

And we’ll keep on needing you for eternity

Your wit, your heart, your passion and strength and your empathy

Don’t give up

If not for yourself then for humanity

———

The Mother will keep you in Her arms

The Mother will shelter you from harm

The Mother will show you Her ways

The Mother will keep you always

———

Be yourself

If not for you then for divinity

She made you be

Exactly who you are, who your heart longs to be

Follow your heart and live in your true authenticity

Be yourself

If not for you then for infinity

———

The Mother will keep you in Her arms

The Mother will shelter you from harm

The Mother will show you Her ways

The Mother will keep you always

———

They say they say that there’s no way

That somebody like you can stay

Have faith, have faith, oh dearest friend

Your spirit will live till the end

They say they say we don’t belong

We both know what they say is wrong

Be brave, be brave, oh dearest friend

Your love will guide you till the end

———

The Mother will keep you in Her arms

The Mother will shelter you from harm

The Mother will show you Her ways

The Mother will keep you always198Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7s5Fqg4vs
