Comforted

Small fish swim in the ocean.
Small birds fly in the sky.

Rock my broken one to sleep
But not the sleep of death
No, never ever fear my child
of losing just one breath.

Through my eyes the world is huge
It takes up half my mind.
The other half is brimming with tears
for all the trembling souls
The poor ones and the meek.
The faltering.

Bind them up in love like the ocean
Set them free to fly inthe sky.

The treacherous tongue of evil men
Should be thrust into the fire
Alas the world is fireproof
and recognizes not those who kill the soul.

Rock my broken one to sleep
But not the sleep of death
No, never ever fear my child
of losing just one breath.

So far away from home you are
I hear your mourning heart
Hold my hand - it is yet outstretched
I'll tell you where you are
On a sinking island
In the deepest sea

Bind them up in love like the ocean
Lest they lose themselves in the terrible sky.
