Song of Sorrow

Tomorrow
When I die
Never be angry
Here
I will come back here
Transformed into a beautiful hummingbird
Dear woman
When you look at the Sun
Smile with your heart

There
There, I will be with our Father
I will give to you a lovely light
Dear woman
When you look at the Sun
Smile with your heart
There
There, I will be with our Father
I will give to you a lovely light
I will give to you a lovely light
I will give to you a lovely light
I will give to you a lovely light
