lyrics

The Camellia Tree

may your camellia trees bloom and blossom
long after you are gone
may they inspire us to find the courage
to face the gathering storm
for it feels like the world is on the brink
of a terrible unknown
and you are not here
free the universe to roam
but the magnanimity of your ideas will never die
and that is why we only say goodbye
until we meet again

may the legacy of all your sacrifices
be carried on by those you've left behind
may your humanity, integrity and wisdom
serve always to remind us
that the world can be a better place
if good men speak their minds
with fire in their hearts and conviction in their eyes
and though I am afraid
and though I cry
we only say goodbye until we meet again
and I know we'll meet again
and I know we'll meet again...
