Libera

Feel
The smell of the street after it has rained
Never be ashamed of a gift received
I watch you leave and it seems a bit
Like you're going to the moon
And the distance increases
And you're not my little girl anymore
Your branches stretch out to seek air
This is your journey
Your life
Your story
That is not written in the stars
And in the past
You can draw it with your finger
On the foggy glass
Carve it into the mountain
Tie it to a kite
You've already learned not to defend yourself from emotions
Like your mother
You're beautiful when you smile
That air that you can do anything
When you decide
Hands in your pockets for the cold that freezes your nose
Eyes down to pretend not to notice
The heart in your throat
The dark obstacles
Red cheeks
Like ripe fruits

I would
Take you to the depths of the night
Show you the rising sun
Hold you tight to me
And then let you go
I would
That you were happy
Like when someone says
I like this place
And even if there is no peace
I can walk there
Free
Free
Free
I want to walk there
Free
Free
Free

Feel
The smell of life that doesn't give respite
It's bitter and sweet
And the more you try to understand it
The more it doesn't bend what it is
That thread that binds us
That binds everything to you
That binds you and me
More than a duty, more a feeling
It's the very substance of which the world is made
Of which time is made
That makes the planets spin
Makes dolphins give birth
Shines in the earrings

I would
Take you to the depths of the night
Show you the rising sun
Hold you tight to me
And then let you go
I would
That you were happy
Like when someone says
I like this place
And even if there is no peace
I can walk there
Free
Free
Free
I want to walk there
Free
Free
Free
Free
I would
Take you to the depths of the night
Show you the rising sun
Hold you tight to me
And then let you go
I would
That you were happy
Like when someone says
I like this place
And even if there is no peace
I want to walk there
Free
