Hello, my father, I’m so glad to meet you
I will be with you the rest of your years
I am the child you called to the earth
I am your bucket of tears
the present you've opened before you are ready
a fugitive something you won’t understand
I’ll consume all your love, your wealth, and your wisdom,
your pearl of great price that you’ll lose in the end
I am the gate on the dark road to heaven
there is no other way there but this
these are the tears and this is the losing
and here in the darkness the way you will miss.
