SONG ABOUT GREATNESS
This is a little song about greatness,
About a sleeping lion that awakens,
About a rocky mountain, and how to scale it,
About Hell Valley, and how to face it.
About Valhalla, and its location.
About your darkest fears, and how to embrace 'em.
About the greatest love, and how to taste it.
About truth, the only thing to me that's sacred.
My mother left India at 22,
It's the only reason I can write this song for you.
She kissed her sister, brothers, father, mother all goodbye,
It made her cry, but she was also longing for a life
Free from dogma, free from certain traditions
That make God sound like a crazy superstition.
No, she would seek her own truth,
And finally taste freedom
Like sweet juice from a fruit.
Nothing but adventure in her brave eyes,
Ready for the world,
First stop Germany,
And then came I.
At this point it could still turn out a fairytale all right,
But my father wasn't quite
Ready for this child.
This is a little song about greatness,
About a sleeping lion that awakens,
About a rocky mountain, and how to scale it,
About Hell Valley, and how to face it.
About Valhalla, and its location.
About your darkest fears, and how to embrace 'em.
About the greatest love, and how to taste it.
About truth, the only thing to me that's sacred.
Now here comes the crazy part,
Instead of hating that little baby that
Popped onto the scene,
and took my mother's life away from her.
She gave me love, in fact
She gave me so much love
It raised me up to be not afraid of much.
And I know she loved my father,
But she also knew his interest in me equaled nada.
So, she locked that love away
And dropped it like a stone,
And found a man to build a home,
And that man chose to love me like his own.
And so the fairytale my mother never got to live,
Became my fairytale childhood.
Thanks Mama for this.
You deserve bliss,
You deserve everything you missed,
But you just give,
Thanks Mama for this.
