2019 | ⓒ coloring the world
Nobody is here, the coast is empty
Standing here alone with my feet sinked in the sand
Searching for you in the sea, [the big ocean]
With a paintingbrush without painful memories in my hand
Before we grew older everything was just fine
There are many things I still want to ask and to say
How proud I’ve watched you being you, [your true self[
My childhood was how it should be, it was ok
So many questions in my head
What can I do to figure it out
Do I need the past to let go
with the pain, the fear and the doubt
The sun is shining, the sky is bright
Missing you, oh I miss you so
I’m restless, why did it happen
Why did you leave me, oh why you had to go
I'm your little girl, that will never change
My dream was to paint together
I will always love you
And in my heart, we color the world forever
Still I don’t understand the past
Why did it happen to me
It still hurts, but I have learned my lessons
Now I’m facing the future and have to let it be
I know I’m responsible for my own mistakes
But all I ever wanted was your love
At the end you gave that to me
That’s all I needed, it was enough
You are somewhere out there, so far away
While I’m watching the long long distance of the sea
But at the same time, you are so close
I carry you deep in my heart, you are here with me
[vervolg]
The sun is shining, the sky is bright
Missing you, oh I miss you so
I’m calm and at peace and I feel that you are here
And understand that I have to move on and you had to go
I'm still your little girl, that will never change
My dream was to paint together
I will always love you
And in my heart, we color the world forever.
Deze tekst kwam op mijn 50e verjaardag spontaan uit de lucht vallen. Het was 2 jaar nadat mijn vader is overleden en ik even werd overspoeld door emoties die mij terugbrachten in de tijd. Deze tekst heb ik later vertaald naar het Nederlands.
