When it feels like you're falling into a hole
Low and distressed, as if you've lost your own soul
Crawl up and put your feet on the ground
Take a deep breath, and slowly lean back
Look up in the sky
Up in the clear, blue sky
Holding the dark cloud is a vast space of love
From newborn to the very last breath
You know you are alive and that is a fact
All else is a time-bound and worldly affair
Which you have to cope with, whatever you want
You grow up, now standing on your own legs
But others are using them for their own sake
To find some freedom in this prison of life
Lean your head back and open your eyes
Look up in the sky
Up in the clear, deep sky
Looking back at you is your own true self
To the daughter I never had
I would have had so much to tell you, girl
But the words now hang loosely in the air
Stored in our common space of love
