[00:05.02]by kexianda
[00:38.76]As I sat sadly by her side
[00:43.06]At the window, through the glass
[00:48.38]She stroked a kitten in her lap
[00:52.24]And we watched the world as it fell past
[00:57.26]Softly she spoke these words to me
[01:01.87]And with brand new eyes, open wide
[01:06.08]We pressed our faces to the glass
[01:11.04]As I sat sadly by her side
[01:21.11]
[01:24.49]She said, "Father, mother, sister, brother,
[01:29.09]Uncle, aunt, nephew, niece,
[01:34.55]Soldier, sailor, physician, labourer,
[01:38.90]Actor, scientist, mechanic, priest
[01:44.04]Earth and moon and sun and stars
[01:47.53]Planets and comets with tails blazing
[01:52.85]All are there forever falling
[01:57.16]Falling lovely and amazing"
[02:05.83]
[02:11.76]Then she smiled and turned to me
[02:15.69]And waited for me to reply
[02:20.85]Her hair was falling down her shoulders
[02:25.51]As I sat sadly by her side
[02:32.20]
[02:39.30]As I sat sadly by her side
[02:44.57]The kitten she did gently pass
[02:48.49]Over to me and again we pressed
[02:52.90]Our different faces to the glass
[02:58.12]"That may be very well", I said
[03:02.18]"But watch the one falling in the street
[03:07.86]See him gesture to his neighbours
[03:12.03]See him trampled beneath their feet
[03:17.34]All outward motion connects to nothing
[03:21.42]For each is concerned with their immediate need
[03:26.51]Witness the man reaching up from the gutter
[03:30.52]See the other one stumbling on who can not see"
[03:39.02]
[03:46.65]With trembling hand I turned toward her
[03:50.56]And pushed the hair out of her eyes
[03:54.73]The kitten jumped back to her lap
[03:59.41]As I sat sadly by her side
[04:07.75]
[04:10.74]Then she drew the curtains down
[04:17.14]And said, "When will you ever learn
[04:21.83]That what happens there beyond the glass
[04:26.11]Is simply none of your concern?
[04:30.95]God has given you but one heart
[04:34.80]You are not a home for the hearts of your brothers
[04:41.39]
[04:41.72]And God does not care for your benevolence
[04:44.54]Anymore than he cares for the lack of it in others
[04:49.78]Nor does he care for you to sit
[04:53.73]At windows in judgement of the world He created
[04:59.28]While sorrows pile up around you
[05:04.49]Ugly, useless and over-inflated"
[05:10.34]
[05:14.40]At which she turned her head away
[05:23.88]Great tears leaping from her eyes
[05:27.10]I could not wipe the smile from my face
[05:32.42]As I sat sadly by her side
[05:40.46]As I sat sadly by her side
[05:48.59]As I sat sadly by her side
[05:52.84]As I sat sadly by her side
[05:58.96]As I sat sadly by her side
