Who am I?

Who am I?

Who am I that heaven should be kind to me?
Who am I that angels should bow down before me?

Am I not a mist that comes and goes
or a frost that forms and quickly melts away?

Who am I?

I am but a leaf the wind tosses about
I am but a flower that blooms and then withers away

I can find no lovely thing in me
I can see nothing that I wanted you to see

Had I seen it
I’d have had no reason to fear
Had I found it
I’d have lifted up my face towards the stars

Who am I?

What say you to a nameless fool?

Had somebody known
Had somebody only told me
Had somebody seen the faintest shadow that I left
I would have died
I would have loved
I would have lived again
