Life

Sweet cradle take me far
Sweet cradle I want to reach that northern star
Sweet cradle don’t fall from the sky
Sweet cradle why…

Loving mother, who smothers me with love
Loving mother, singing songs like a morning dove
Loving mother, don’t go now for I want to say goodbye
Loving mother, why…

New father, I don’t understand who one could hate
New father, you have a bad fate
New father, I am older now but don’t die
New father, why…

Helping friend, you support me
Helping friend, through the years we have had
Helping friend, I cry tears
Helping friend, why…

Pathetic professor, when I learn I get a chill
Pathetic professor, please let me pass through
Pathetic professor, I want to fly away from you
Pathetic professor, why…

Loving husband, I hug you tight
Loving husband, we shouldn’t fight
Loving husband, please don’t lie
Loving husband, why…


Caring daughter, I rock you away
Caring daughter, together we pray
Caring daughter, leaving to fly
Caring daughter, why…

Friendly light, swallow me up so I won’t fight
Friendly light, you call to me ever so bright
Friendly light, up in the sky so high
Friendly light, why…

Sweet cradle, take me far
Sweet cradle, I want to reach the northern star
Sweet cradle, don’t fall from the sky
Sweet cradle….
I understand why
