Invisible Strings
(Nina Widjaja)

Little leaf, all alone
Just take your chance tonight
Leave your tree and make a cut
And please enjoy your flight
Couldn’t you get enough water?
No, I’m not thirsty, I’m dying
I will go home
I will go home …

… to the sky
Where I can fly like a feather
Taken away by the wind
On invisible strings
The moon
She keeps an eye on me
The only one she seems to be
The earth, my mother
Makes the trees grow
So, brother, don’t you know
She keeps her arms around the roots of life
Our homeland, our paradise

Don’t be anxious, don’t feel blue
Just be aware of being alive
Because of every step you fall
In paradise you’ll rise
Sail with the heaven-sent children
They whisper you softly to sleep
With their lullaby
With their lullaby ...

… to the sky
Where I can fly like a feather
Taken away by the wind
On invisible strings
The moon
She keeps an eye on me
The only one she seems to be
The earth, my mother
Makes the trees grow
So, brother, don’t you know
She keeps her arms around the roots of life
Our homeland, our paradise

Little leaf, homeland is near
Open your eyes, wake up
Oh look, the moon sends you a kiss
Remember where where you grew up
A ray of starlight touches your skin
And now you’re there
Where you never have been
And now you’re there
Where you never have been before ...

… in the sky
Where I can fly like a feather
Taken away by the wind
On invisible strings
The moon
She keeps an eye on me –
The only one she seems to be
The earth, my mother
Makes the trees grow
So, brother, don’t you know
She keeps her arms around the roots of life
She keeps her arms around the roots
Of our life
