Land of sorrow
Do you remember
When I wrote my legend
With my magical wand
I turned you into a sparkle of light
Then hid you in my heart
That sparkle has then exploded
A novel big bang
A universe of love came into being
With a thousand thousand stars
Dazzling… Splendid… Sublime
If I was to divide that love
Between all creation
It would suffice and sustain
Do you remember Joseph’s coat of multicolour
I once embroidered for you
Threw over your shoulders
That coat has then expanded
Embracing me along with you
Can you feel me by your side?
That coat has been growing ever since
Holding mankind under its wings
Magical… What a sight!
In my land of sorrow
Love grows divine and tender
Passion blooms pink and amber
Beauty enchants, please remember
