Cherished Lyrics

Tonight, I sleep inside my own body
For child, you kept me in the old country
I leave you with nourishment, prayers for the journey
May happiness come with this, may you ever flourish
Tonight, I tear apart the tapestry
Those years, I built you with my own body
No gratefulness comes with this, have I been so foolish?
So take from me, violently, I will suffer through it
(break)
Tonight, I sleep inside my own body

For child, you kept me in the old country
I leave you with nourishment, prayers for the journey
May happiness come with this, may you ever flourish
Tonight, I tear apart the tapestry
Those years, I built you with my own body
No gratefulness comes with this, have I been so foolish?
So take from me, violently, I will suffer through it
