Verse 1
Walls of ward hold breath’s weight
Syringe flows youthful dreams fade
Machine hums counting heartbeats brave
You fear not finishing the story’s page
Verse 2
Cicadas sing July’s heat frays
Pill box can’t hold childhood’s sugar haze
Ellipsis on medical record sways
But your eyes still hold mountains and seas’blaze
Chorus
Life is like a candle in wind’s might
Stubbornly burning cracks in night
Don’t fear tears are stars falling bright
In my palm they become galaxy’s light
Verse 3
IV line ties hope’s ups and downs
Midnight murmurs call “Mom don’t forget”aloud
Monitor lights dance with fate’s unknown
You grip me “I want to see snow on hair grown”
Chorus
Life is like a candle in wind’s might
Stubbornly burning cracks in night
Don’t fear tears are stars falling bright
In my palm they become galaxy’s light
Bridge
Listen leaves kiss the windowsill
Listen migratory birds through fog still
Your existence every fold of wind’s will
Is heaven and earth’s stolen gentle thrill
Outro Chorus
Life is a flower breaking through ruins gray
Turning winter into spring’s delay
Laugh now pain is light’s price to pay
You’ve seen the world that’s worth more than words can say
