Cherished
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 comes from this
Have I been so foolish
So take from me
Violently
I will suffer through it
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 comes from this
Have I been so foolish
So take from me
Violently
I will suffer through it
