Soul Parsifal

No one will tell me what to feel
My heart is awake
Our love is serene and this place is holy
From times of sadness, I had so much that was good
I had your poison
And the gentle breath of the moon

Because the storm was calm
And your memory, the star to guide me
I embroidered with lavender
Come, my love, it's time to wake up

I have anise
I have mint
I have a basket of flowers
I have a garden and a song
I live happily, I have love
I have a desire and a heart
I have courage and I know who I am

I have a secret and a prayer
See that my strength is almost holy
How holy was my suffering
Sin is to provoke desire
And then renounce

I was tired
My pride left me tired
My selfishness left me tired
My vanity left me tired
I don't speak for others
I only speak for myself
No one will tell me what to feel

I have jasmine, I have mint
I have an angel, I have a sister
With longing, I wove a prayer
And prepared lemon balm for breakfast
No one will tell me what to feel
And I will sing a song for myself
