The Little Prince

Lyrics: [Verse 1] An aviator stranded where the endless shadows grow, A little prince appears with secrets grown-ups never know. “The land of tears is such a mysterious world…” Where questions fall like stardust, and the quiet truths unfold. “I didn’t know what to say anymore, I didn’t know how to act…” “How to reach his soul… how I would stand up for him…” [Chorus] “But the eyes are blind! One must look with the heart!” “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” “You become responsible forever for what you’ve tamed!” You’re responsible… Responsible for your rose… [Verse 2] The kings upon their thrones, counting stars to fill their mind, “Grown-ups love figures… They never ask about essential matters.” They build their heavy walls, But leave the truth behind. “People grow five thousand roses in one single garden…” Yet they don’t find what they’re looking for… “And yet what they’re looking for could be found in a single rose.” [Bridge] “The flower that you love is not in danger…” “I will draw you a cloak for the lamb! I will draw you an armor for the flower!” “Of course I’ll hurt you. Of course you’ll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence means accepting the risk of absence… [Outro] “Look up at the sky. Ask yourself: Has the sheep eaten the flower or not?” And you’ll see… How everything changes… “You alone will have stars as no one else has them… In one of them I shall be laughing.” “And when your sorrow is comforted… you will be content that you have known me…”
