[Verse 1] Grateful for the days we had, that brief span, tender and fierce and sad. You walked away before your time, left love like rings in the salt and brine. So much you saw along your way, so much you held in night and day. And when I feel how you stayed near, how often light broke through my fear, then all grows still inside my chest, and pain lies down, in quiet rest. [Chorus] I let you go, though fire will burn, you rise on winds that never turn. You stay in me beyond goodbye, sweet mother-heart, not far, but nigh. [Verse 2] I look behind to find your gaze, so deep-warm, carrying all my days. Your quiet word, a half-born tone, still threads now soft through my flesh and bone. So much you bore that none could see, so long you stood for more than me. And when I sense love does not fade, how through the years it’s ever stayed, then slowly fills my tired chest, and pain shines through in gentler rest. [Chorus] I let you go, though fire will burn, you rise on winds that never turn. You stay in me beyond goodbye, sweet mother-heart, not far, but nigh. [Verse 3] And when the night leans hard on me, when shadows bend down my inner sea, I feel you drift inside my bones, like silent balm, like softened stones. Then deep I know we’re twined and bound, far past all speech, all name and sound. And when I weep for what is gone, for how your life still moves me on, your hidden strength through all this ache begins to mend what grief would break. [Chorus] I let you go, though fire will burn, you rise on winds that never turn. You stay in me beyond goodbye, sweet mother-heart, not far, but nigh. [Chorus] I let you go, though embers glow, you walk beside each path I know. In every step, in near and far, sweet mother-heart, you are my star. [Chorus] I let you go, though embers glow, you breathe inside each ebb and flow. In every stride, in every shore, sweet mother-heart, you leave no more.
