It's time to say good-bye
to someone I've never met
It's time to give you
my very last regret
It's time to say good-bye
to someone I do not know
It's time to tell you
about my misery and woe
It's time to say good-bye
to someone I'll never see again
It's time to cry over
someone who wasn't even my friend.
As the crystal wave breaks
the gleaming figure shoots through
So shiny and new
so caressed with dew
one cannot help but stare
As the crystal wave breaks
it is introduced
and one can really see
how important this is
why it was born
As the crystal wave breaks
it recedes
and gone in the notion
back into the crystal wave
never to be seen again
The Golden Bird of Paradise
flies across the Amazon
over raging rivers
and over quiet ponds.
The Golden Bird of Paradise
is seen by very few
but the few that see her
bless the day she flew.
You ride along on a crystal wave
without a care in the world
people will forget you when you lie in your grave
but you are without a care in the world.
Your skin glitters-the water shimmers
your eyes sparkle and shine
you breathe the salty sea air
that once I breathed and called mine
So listen now as I tell you this promise
a promise I know I can keep
for what will they care when you lie dead in your grave
below the salty deep?
Why ride a wave?
my salt water friend
come on! Come fly with me!
Because the tear between our kind is too late to mend.
Come on! Come fly with me!
If I can't have things my own way
is it good to live?
If I can't say what I want to say
is it okay to give?
If life doesn't give me what I want
can I kick it in the face?
If I don't have what I want to flaunt
than is it a disgrace?
If people say that I am nuts
are they surely correct?
If disembowleled they have no guts
was it me ready to discect?
I understand your pain.
I understand your frustation
I know your anger.
You give them everything
they cannot give back
You love them with all your heart
and they fail to remember your name
Your pain overcomes you
it poisons you with disguist
you know your own anger
and you can't tell it.
It happens to others too,
you are not alone
Even though no one will speak up.
People are afraid to tell
because they might get hurt
But haven't I been hurt enough?
I don't want to drown in pain.
