Cherished (piano rendition)

tonight
i sleep inside my own body
for child
you kept me in the old country

i leave you with nourishment
prayers for the journey
may happiness come with this
may you ever flourish

tonight
i tear apart the tapestry
those years
i built you with my own body

no gratefulness come from this
have i been so foolish
so take from me
violently
i will suffer through it


tonight
i sleep inside my own body

i leave you with nourishment
prayers for the journey
may happiness come with this
may you ever flourish

tonight
i tear apart the tapestry
those years
i built you with my own body

no gratefulness come from this
have i been so foolish
so take from me
violently
i will suffer through it

tonight
i sleep inside my own body
