Flowers in the Sky

The song that stuck with me after the end of the concert... and had come close to making me cry during one of the rehearsals.





Brahma of My Heart
i.gemz

Composer: Goh Sue San
Album: Cradled In Buddha's Arms


Do you remember the nights you lullabied me to sleep
Turning my tears to comfort and to laughter
Do you remember the days being the flowers in the sky
You showed me wisdom and guide me all the way

You have sacrificed for me, leaving heartprints of your love
Brahma of my home, teacher and my savior
You’re the hero of my life, gave me everything and more
Brahma of my joys, Brahma of my heart

I will remember your hopes, I will make your dreams come true
I will turn your fears into courage and compassion
I promise to take care of you, share with you all the love I have
Please do believe me, my love for you shines true

You have sacrificed for me, leaving heartprints of your love
Brahma of my home, teacher and my savior
You’re the hero of my life, gave me everything and more
Brahma of my joys, Brahma of my heart
Brahma of my joys, Brahma of my heart
