Fragile Dream (lyrics)

 So. I wrote some lyrics for the piece 'Fragile Dream' composed by Joe Hisaishi. I started a couple years ago and decided to finish it off): et voila [listen to the song while you read the lyrics, it sort of fits a melody :))]

Much Love to Rene Miliot for this beautiful illustration of the mythological Icarus

Lyrics start at 00:20

Secrets of my soul in paradise

dark and darker, darken till I die

fix my chipped wing and let me fly

into tomorrow's sunrise

secrets of my soul heading downstream

only to awake my fragile dream

much too soft to hear my violent screams 

and all too strong for the extreme

and all my fears

they followed me through all my shadowed years

and, even now they've drained all of my tears

but like a fountain flow to reappear

yes, I know that ghost should haunt me not forevermore

but still I cannot help but to mourn

for all the dreams

unborn inside

oh oh

the secrets of my soul burning with pride 

help my fragile dream to come alive

nothing in this world could stand beside this hopelessly hopeful soul

[starts again at 02:19]

like the wind in an ocean storm

blows everything, with it's hateful scorn

Building up the world to push it down

shaking from it's core

taking everything that's in its sight

stealing from the world with eager eyes

wanting life, but instead sets aside 

all of the things that feed the soul

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

wanting all the love that life can give

but instead roaming around, spinning like a little kid

and lost in your ego but still you search the water for more gold

and everything has hurt you so far but only

because all of the brightest stars must burn

in order to be seen and loved

oh oh 

now your time has come and gone so fast

time to end this lurid loving fast

time to break away from all that's passed

and learn to dream again

time to break away from all that's passed

and learn to dream again

the secrets of my 

secrets of my

the secrets of my 

soul

[ 終わりOwari].
