i hear you walking in the rain |
|
i feel your presence in the morning |
|
you're there to help me in my pain |
|
you're sitting in my corner |
|
in my corner |
|
you're in my corner |
|

|
i'm thinking about generations and what's gonn' last |
|
preservation past photographs |
|
dedications from our ancestors |
|
and how they've blessed us even though they've left us |
|
like my grandmother for years ate potatoes |
|
that's all they could finagle to put on the table |
|
sacrifice but she still saw paradise |
|
with my grandpa and real love they passed the nights |
|
an ocean away never knew 'em too much |
|
but still they must live through us |
|
i thank them for this body mind and life |
|
are they with me in the morning in the ambient light |
|
build from the fails and wins of men |
|
i sift through the soil of all that's been |
|
to live is to give never regretfully |
|
i know i'm not alone when i face what's ahead of me |
|

|
it's your number 3 youngest of the fam tree |
|
the lone son who left home to hunt fantasies |
|
lonesome at times but then mother phones me |
|
are you eating well son don't forget your flaxseed |
|
heh that's mom for ya always worrying |
|
if it's not about that it's did you find a girlfriend |
|
not yet ma none stand in comparison |
|
no woman as amazing as who dad end up marrying |
|
and that's for real my father did good |
|
immigrant in this country but a king in my book |
|
you have my respect as a dad you never fail |
|
i regret every word i said to spat or rebel |
|
i know it's all for my future and my health |
|
i'm a rockstar but you're a rocket scientist hell |
|
it suits you well in numerous ways |
|
cuz you and mom uplift me to this beautiful space |
|
- theresa - |
|
when i was lost you grounded me stopped me from doubting me |
|
watched out for me taught me empowered me |
|
got out of me what i forgot how to see |
|
i stopped by i brought by these flowers see |
|
this time i'm feeling much better |
|
funny how your mood is so connected to the weather |
|
i finally get your letter |
|
that whatever severs us we'll always be together cuz |
|
you're in my corner when the fear manifests |
|
in the sky when the sun disappears in the west |
|
in the shape of my eyes in mirrors you reflect |
|
the only thing you're not in is here in the flesh |
|
but you're near i hear your steps |
|
so i never question life after death |
|
only hold close the lessons that you blessed |
|
and stay hopeful cuz we both know you never left |
