Verse I They told me of the orchard's gate, Of the demon and the twist of fate, Of the wish that waits beneath the tree, And the price that comes for me. They said, "Be careful, child, beware, The shadow walks and takes its share." But I have walked these rows before, And I have nothing to ask for. Chorus I am not empty, I am full — Of morning light and the wind's pull, Of bread and laughter, rain and song, Of knowing where I belong. If he comes to take his due, Let him find no wish to pursue. For what is left to give away, When I have everything today? Verse II My father worked the earth and stone, My mother sang a weary tone. They gave me bread, they gave me breath, And taught me how to laugh at death. I have no gold, I have no land, But I have known a gentle hand. I am the light beneath the tree, And there is everything in me. Chorus I am not empty, I am full — Of morning light and the wind's pull, Of bread and laughter, rain and song, Of knowing where I belong. If he comes to take his due, Let him find no wish to pursue. For what is left to give away, When I have everything today? Bridge (тише, мечтательно) And yet... I dreamed, when I was young, Of a love that had not yet begun. A hand to hold, a voice to keep, A heart to wake, a soul to meet. I never asked for gold or fame, I only asked to know a name. And if that love is never found, I'll still be standing on this ground. Verse III So when the shadow crossed the gate, I did not run, I did not wait. I stood beneath the gilded bough, And I did not ask him how. He looked at me with burning eyes, And found no wish to recognize. He spoke of gifts, he spoke of grace — And I just smiled and saw his face. Final Chorus (тепло, с лёгкой усмешкой) I am not empty, I am full — Of morning light and the wind's pull, Of bread and laughter, rain and song, Of knowing where I belong. So take your bargain, take your plea, There is no wish inside of me. And now the hunter stands confused — For a heart so full cannot be used. Outro (затихая, с тёплой улыбкой) ...A heart so full cannot be used... ...And I have everything to lose...
