Lyric

Under cherry blossom light

I lay my yesterdays down in white

One by one, they fall from me

Small mercies carried on the wind

I held my past in cupped hands

Like little stones and fragile plans

But every petal passing by

Reminds me all of it was real

Cherry blossoms, cover me

In the grace of letting go

Every tear, another petal

Falling from a weary tree

They fall because my heart was full

Of all I couldn't say

And when they touch the April ground

My sorrow gives way to green

And anger is a petal too

It bloomed where deeper silence grew

It came to guard the child in me

When love was nowhere I could rest

So I won't condemn the fire

It only held the hurt I carried

Cherry blossoms, cover me

As I learn to set it free

Every flame, another petal

Losing its hold on me

They fall because the truth in me

No longer wants to hide

And when the branch grows light again

I feel the morning rise

When I've forgiven all that hurt me

A softer world begins again

No thunder now, no iron sky

Just open blue behind my eyes

Cherry blossoms, stay with me

As I grow into myself

Every tear and every ember

Had a reason, held a wish

Now the past is only spring

Moving softly through the trees

And beyond the last thing I forgave

I find the light ahead of me

Under cherry blossom light

I lay my yesterdays down in white

One by one, they drift away

And hope is waiting where they were
