i hear you walking in the rain
|
|
i feel your presence in the morning
|
|
you're there to help me in my pain
|
|
you're sitting in my corner
|
|
in my corner
|
|
you're in my corner
|
|
- taiyo -
|
|
i'm thinking about generations and what's gonn' last
|
|
preservation past photographs
|
|
dedications from our ancestors
|
|
and how they've blessed us even though they've left us
|
|
like my grandmother for years ate potatoes
|
|
that's all they could finagle to put on the table
|
|
sacrifice but she still saw paradise
|
|
with my grandpa and real love they passed the nights
|
|
an ocean away never knew 'em too much
|
|
but still they must live through us
|
|
i thank them for this body mind and life
|
|
are they with me in the morning in the ambient light
|
|
build from the fails and wins of men
|
|
i sift through the soil of all that's been
|
|
to live is to give never regretfully
|
|
i know i'm not alone when i face what's ahead of me
|
|

|
|
the lone son who left home to hunt fantasies
|
|
lonesome at times but then mother phones me
|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|
no woman as amazing as who dad end up marrying
|
|
and that's for real my father did good
|
|
immigrant in this country but a king in my book
|
|

|
|
i regret every word i said to spat or rebel
|
|
i know it's all for my future and my health
|
|
i'm a rockstar but you're a rocket scientist hell
|
|

|
|
cuz you and mom uplift me to this beautiful space
|

|
|
when i was lost you grounded me stopped me from doubting me
|
|
watched out for me taught me empowered me
|
|
got out of me what i forgot how to see
|
|
i stopped by i brought by these flowers see
|
|
this time i'm feeling much better
|
|
funny how your mood is so connected to the weather
|
|
i finally get your letter
|
|
that whatever severs us we'll always be together cuz
|
|
you're in my corner when the fear manifests
|
|
in the sky when the sun disappears in the west
|
|
in the shape of my eyes in mirrors you reflect
|
|
the only thing you're not in is here in the flesh
|
|
but you're near i hear your steps
|
|
so i never question life after death
|
|
only hold close the lessons that you blessed
|
|
and stay hopeful cuz we both know you never left |
