Текст песни A Happy Thought - Kurt Elling

A Happy Thought

assuming this is the last day of my life
which might mean it is almost the first
i’m struck blind but my blindness is bright
prepare for what’s known here as death
have no fear of that strange word forever
even i can see there is nothing there
nothing there to be afraid of
having already been to forever
i’m unable to recall
anything that scared me there
or hurt
what frightened me apparently
and hurt
was being born
but i got over that with no hard feelings
dy-y-ing…
i imagine
it will be the same deal
lonesomer maybe
but surely no more shocking or prolonged
as dark as i recall then bright so bright
as dark as i recall then bright so bright
