Lyrics:
I was walking through the meadow,
Amongst the flowers and the rye
My companions feared a rain cloud,
I gladly welcomed that new sky

So I turned from my companions,
As dark clouds soaked up all the light
Then I plucked a sparkling blossom,
And day disguised itself as Night

That’s when I saw you–
Stoic, standing still in time
Like that lonesome flower
That swiftly soon became mine

In a world under one that lives
There’s a beauty there that gives to me a gift,
Just like the one above

I only fought with my own conscience,
You didn’t take me like they say
Truth hurts more than their derision,
My choice was mine alone to make

In a world under one that lives
There’s a beauty there that gives to me a gift,
Just like the one above

Though there’s comfort in that field
In the dark I feel revered
Mother, if I disappear
Please absolve me

Though there’s safety in the clear
My heart’s been trapped by your veneer
If I feel this way next year,
Please absolve me
Please absolve me
Please, please absolve me

In a world under one that lives
There’s a beauty there that gives to me a gift,
Just like the one above
Just like the one above
Just like the one above
