i hear you walking in the rain
i feel your presence in the morning
you're there to help me in my pain
you're sitting in my corner
in my corner
you're in my corner
- taiyo -
i'm thinking about generations and what's gonn' last
preservation past photographs
dedications from our ancestors
and how they've blessed us even though they've left us
like my grandmother for years ate potatoes
that's all they could finagle to put on the table
sacrifice but she still saw paradise
with my grandpa and real love they passed the nights
an ocean away never knew 'em too much
but still they must live through us
i thank them for this body mind and life
are they with me in the morning in the ambient light
build from the fails and wins of men
i sift through the soil of all that's been
to live is to give never regretfully
i know i'm not alone when i face what's ahead of me
- derek -
it's your number 3 youngest of the fam tree
the lone son who left home to hunt fantasies
lonesome at times but then mother phones me
are you eating well son don't forget your flaxseed
heh that's mom for ya always worrying
if it's not about that it's did you find a girlfriend
not yet ma none stand in comparison
no woman as amazing as who dad end up marrying
and that's for real my father did good
immigrant in this country but a king in my book
you have my respect as a dad you never fail
i regret every word i said to spat or rebel
i know it's all for my future and my health
i'm a rockstar but you're a rocket scientist hell
it suits you well in numerous ways
cuz you and mom uplift me to this beautiful space
- theresa -
when i was lost you grounded me stopped me from doubting me
watched out for me taught me empowered me
got out of me what i forgot how to see
i stopped by i brought by these flowers see
this time i'm feeling much better
funny how your mood is so connected to the weather
i finally get your letter
that whatever severs us we'll always be together cuz
you're in my corner when the fear manifests
in the sky when the sun disappears in the west
in the shape of my eyes in mirrors you reflect
the only thing you're not in is here in the flesh
but you're near i hear your steps
so i never question life after death
only hold close the lessons that you blessed
and stay hopeful cuz we both know you never left
i hear you walking in the rain
i feel your presence in the morning
you're there to help me in my pain
you're sitting in my corner
in my corner
you're in my corner
