Loving Tear

From a castle up above

Catch a raindrop and hold it close

Don't let it fall anymore

In the palm of your hand

Not withdrawn

Not slipping a w a y

But growing bolder

Into something greater

It had tasted freedom

When it left the golden castle

On that cloud

Down

Down

Down

It went into lands and airs unknown

Through time in greatest fashion

It went

It lived

It knew

Beautiful journey

Beautiful course

Beautiful aim and winning game

Mother and Father looked with pride

Droplet no longer by their loving side

The hand that caught was

Ready and waiting

Never leaving

Never abating

Joyfully holding

The sky's loving tear

That dropped all that way

So graciously and dear
