A sparrow in it's escape

I can see your upraised hand
on the hilltop above the valley
I recognise your tiny fingers
and I know your spirit and mind

you know, my beautiful friend
your rooms in my heart are always open
they will never be locked for you
I have already promised that for both of us

I remember in our church some years ago
I encouraged my father to bless me
he responded to me by saying: I will, my son
I answered: Papa, you must do it now, because now is the time

he gave me his blessings, my old man
and asked God to open his face upon me
I was filled with peace and harmony
and I knew I was in my father's heart

there was a sparrow in it's escape
through the hot summer breeze
in our innermost parts of the waters
I knew it will not live so long time

but all are up to the living God
who has our names written on his fingers
I am filled with my new confidence
which I never have felt before

I still see you on the hilltop, my love

I already know your soft and tender heart
Welcome, you who has been awaited so many years
I have prepared my kidneys, liver, lungs and heart

the music fades and the silence takes over
the darkness fall and cover everything
it is not possible to distinguish anything anymore
we can only lay down and wait for the dawn.
