Petals in my heart
These lyrics represent a deep emotion of a time when I was in Japan getting my strength back to fly on the plane home after what was then a mysterious illness. I was afraid and very homesick. It was recorded in Greek with no preparation of prior lyrics or tunes. It came out in it’s own stream after reading a quote by Mother Teresa..’do everything for God…and keep this joy ever burning in your heart’. I’m not a great singer but I’m glad this song came out so I could share it. I’m also glad I captured it on video so I could write down the lyrics, those poetry of feelings that are always within me.
black eyes
looking at the petals
looking at the petals
what fragrance
the moon passed by
in my sides it became fire
that glows in my heart
fire glows in my heart
I was walking somewhere there far away
Feeling a fright in this foreign land
I bent down and looked at the petals
the beautiful ones
the flowers that were in the garden patch
of my father’s and my mother’s
yet I was far away
petals
in this foreign land
petals
in this foreign land
the heart
it is beating on the door of home
far beyond the mountains
let us go home in our minds
we go home in our minds
it is crying
it is crying
the heart
for the seashore
I remember
when I was a little girl
together with you
dad, dad
petals in my heart dad
I hold them in my hands as I walk
strange roads that I don’t know
but I walk with the petals
yours
they are yours, they are yours
in my memory
in yours, in yours
