I carry with me only what is mine My mother's love and the silent power of my name I carry with me only what is mine My rising voice to heaven And the spark of mystery entrusted to me And still I seek the hidden truths of things To know why Time runs To know why rivers always seek the sea I feel that from a distant star Someone watches me with kind eyes For love is a child who plays with the stars Is a child who always plays alone I entrust my voice to the winds To send it far and further away To cross lands and destinies And let the storms echo my name I carry with me only what is mine My mother's love and the silent power of my name I carry with me only what is mine My rising voice to heaven And the spark of mystery entrusted to me I don't know the way and where I stand On which bridge or ship, in sight of what land Maybe the herons are hidden behind the clouds Maybe plum blossoms hide beyond the mist Maybe my fate is to float forever, suspended in time Between sea and sky With no land in sight, with no wings to fly For love is a child who plays with the stars A child who plays alone I carry with me only what is mine My mother's love and the silent power of my name I carry with me only what is mine My rising voice to heaven And the spark of mystery entrusted to me
