Lyric

Ordinary Handkerchiefs

Tera Kira

Your inner heart is like a handkerchief so clean

Wiping away the tears that no one else had seen

The very person who saved me from the night

Was always you, illuminating with your light

If you should ever lose your steps along the lane

I wanted to become an arrow through the rain

To show the way, to keep your spirit tight

That was the wish I carried in the night

But I am just a helpless soul inside the race

My tiny power is so fragile in this space

Always receiving all the strength you used to send

I was the one encouraged till the bitter end

Your spoken words are like a gentle evening breeze

Stroking my heart, putting my longings at ease

The very person who saved me from the fright

Was always you, holding me through the night

If you should ever fall into the deepest ground

I wanted to set up a ladder to be found

To lift you up, to bring you back to shore

That was the dream I wanted to explore

But I am just a helpless soul inside the race

I cannot even be a help in any case

Always receiving all the comfort that you shed

Resting upon the heavy words that you had said

My inner heart is like a thin and fragile bough

You were the one who taught me how to see it now

Showing the weakness that I carried in my chest

Putting the proud illusions to a quiet rest

My inner heart is ripping open just like paper in the dark

I tried to think about the meaning of my spark

"What am I truly?" asking to the heavy view

Searching for myself inside the world of you

And through the tender kindness that you always cast

I learned the geometry of my own weakness at long last

Because of you, because of all the grace you brought to rise

I finally realized how foolish were my eyes

Waking under the heavy, quiet skies

Learning who I am
