Roland Faunte
Lilies
[Verse 1]

All
My friends
See stars
Put me in the light again
Come on put me in the light again

Though all
Things fall
They don’t fall this far
I’m reaching for that higher ground
I keep losing in the most alarming ways

[Verse 2]

So you can find
Me in
The pond

Tangled in the lily pads
Held up by a puppet string

And you can drag
You can drag me out
And leave me in some garden
With the branches growing over me
Now that I’m back home in eternity
[Chorus]

But how can I leave here
And live in the soil
When all things that warmed me
Are here with these mortals

How can I leave here
How can I leave here
But how can I live here
How can I live here
