Breaking

But where the trees grow thinner and the clouds despair

Even the song does not cry of thunder

You will hear the birches grow out of their pale skin

And you will wonder, where do I fit in

 

But it is no secret, there

Under the earth the water grows

Decides to believe in those who cling to it

This earth land comes to the widow in the shallow tree

 

Like a thousand eyes fallen from the clouds

As children weep for their mother’s burden

The wrists that hurt from pushing hard

Cannot conquer what they have already found
