Her feet have burns from desert sands
On which she built sandcastles
Until she could afford some land
There, she built a home

A humble home with a warmth
To shelter all her children
From the cold of the outside world
That wasn’t ours to own

Immigrant hands, scarred with all they let go
Cultivated a garden
An alchemist, she planted gold
Out of what seemed nothing

A garden grown with sacrifices
That weren't yet obvious to me
Sacrifices I’ll justify
So she can rest easy

Her tired eyes poured out rain
Nurturing the garden
Despite the neighbors whispering
We kept on flourishing

Her sights are set beyond the fence
Where glory takes the form
Of a sunflower's dance
To this day, she sings to us

Petal by petal
They’ll pull you apart
Look to the sunflowers
Avoiding the dark

Petal by petal
They’ll pull you apart
Look to the sunflowers
Avoiding the dark

Beyond the fence
Glory takes the form
Of a sunflower's dance

Until

Verse
I fell asleep floating on the waters of spring
As birds were singing, harmonizing the winds
With all in its place, I felt a rare peace
Carelessly drifting on midnight’s melodies

But December arrived while I was daydreaming
The warmth had let me forget I was lonely
The birds took with them the green of the leaves
Silencing a sun that sets too early

And now, spring hibernates under the frozen water

Chorus
With my bare feet
I’ll skate in circles
Until the ice
Becomes a river
Where I can swim freely again

With my cold hands
I’ll pray in vain
Until the birds
Return with their song
So I can sleep alone again

Bridge
The stars disappear but the night doesn’t change
And the sun rises but my mind doesn't feel the rays

Spring hibernates under the frozen water

Chorus
With my bare feet
I’ll skate in circles
Until the ice
Becomes a river
Where I can swim freely again

With my cold hands
I’ll pray in vain
Until the birds
Return with their song
So I can sleep alone again


I fell asleep floating on the waters of spring
As birds were singing, harmonizing the winds
But December arrived while I was daydreaming
The warmth had let me forget I was lonely


With some patience
I'll pass the time
Until the snow
Melts into ground
And the first seed starts growing again

Under The Same Moon
by Achilles and swiftie13


verse one
I tucked my baby in a stranger’s arms
And broke down crying in the empty car
The hardest thing I’ll ever have to do
But I'd do it again 'cause I love you

chorus one
And the world has never felt as lonely
As it did that day
When I left my whole future behind me
As I drove away
I pray to God someday our paths will meet
And I hope it's soon
Til then I'll find comfort knowing we'll be
Under the same moon

verse two
For years now I've been having the same dream
That you've grown up to look so much like me
But I always wake up to remember
I don't even have a single picture

chorus two
And the world has never felt quite as large
As it does each time
I realize I don't know where you are
Or if you're still alive
I swear to God ten times a day I start
Crying over you
But I comfort myself knowing we are
Under the same moon

bridge
Sometimes I think of everything I have missed
The light in your eyes and every goodnight kiss
In another life, I could have raised you up
And sheltered you every morning with my love
So I’ll confess it hurts to know that you've grown
And you've made your place in someone else's home

Darling, you've always deserved
What I could never provide for you
And for whatever it is worth
I've always wanted the best for you

chorus three
And the world has never felt as empty
As it does inside
This little apartment in the city
Where I've spent my life
I wish to God I could have been enough
To be worthy of you
And each night I pray you can feel my love
Cause it's all for you
And I'll take comfort knowing both of us
Are under the same moon
