Chatal

What you have done, what was done to you...
It can never be told or asked
But your soul stays forever true
even hidden behind a mask

I'll remeber your eyes and your poignant dance
I'll keep saying aloud your name
I will pray that one day someone gives you a chance
Not this pain, not this life, not the shame

What you are, who you are- they won't see, they won't say
So you don't escape- clipped your wings
She will cry, but she she dances and sings
Now she never can fly away

But they'll pay, counting tears for tears
Pocket coins won't do it this time
Quiet chanting will ring in their ears
For the years and years to come

Empty creatures so hungry for pleasure,
only reaching for beauty and gold
For their deeds there's no equal measure
It's their souls what is being sold

Dream away, break away little swallow
Fly away with the birds on the roof
You're the spirit today and tommorrow
You are hope, you are light, you are proof
