Hello guys,
My entry for this week's open mic(60) is an original old song I wrote, called Mother.
I feel so sad today, having such heaviness in my heart, as my best friend's mother has passed away.
I dedicate this one to him, with much love.
For the memory of his mother.
The song was written many years ago, after my mother wrote me a letter, when I was feeling lost.
She wrote me that I shouldn't force my eyes to see, and that I should let go of some things in my life, so I can see them more clearly. And not to be afraid to follow my heart.
The song was originally arranged and performed together with my band Noria.
Thank you for listening.
Yours,
Nir
Mother/
Mother, I am in the path
and the words are here, around me
And they guide me, when I'm lost
and I'm touching, but they don't
And I try to understand-
Will they ever reach me?
'cause I cannot
oh...
You shouldn't force your eyes to see,
it's clear
You ran so deep for one big will
and now it's real
Follow where they take
you shouldn't be afraid
Just follow where they lead
In the beautiful green spring
oh...
Mother, I am in the path
and the words are here, around me
And they guide me, when I'm lost
I remember all the thing I've lost
I shouldn't force my eyes to see,
it's clear
I souldn't force my eyes to see
the beautiful green spring
oh..
