The Bloom of Silence

Small boots treading on the velvet moss
Into the woods where the sunlight is lost
He met a creature with whiskers of gray
A silver cat who had something to say
"Deep in the mountain where the crystals glow
There is a cavern that the ancients know
One single wish in the dark of the stone
To change the world that you’ve ever known."

Oh, lead him to the Cave of the Whispering Light
Through the deepest shadows and the coldest night
A journey of hope, a journey of soul
To make the broken world finally whole

He walked through the meadows, he climbed every hill
Met a baker with bread and a heart of goodwill
A lady in white gave a map for the way
"Stay on the path, child, don't go astray"
They gave him their warmth and a smile so kind
The best of the spirits that a traveler could find.

Oh, lead him to the Cave of the Whispering Light
Through the deepest shadows and the coldest night
A journey of hope, a journey of soul
To make the broken world finally whole.

But shadows were lurking in the hollows of oak
Men filled with greed, wearing cloaks made of smoke
They tried to deceive him, they reached for his hand
To steal away dreams of the promised land
He fought through the briars, he ran through the rain
Ignoring the hunger, ignoring the pain.

He stood in the cavern, the silence was deep
The secrets of ages the mountain would keep
He looked at the world, at the war and the pride
And opened the heart that he carried inside
He didn't ask for gold, he didn't ask for power
He whispered: "Let every soul... turn into a flower."

Oh, look at the Cave of the Whispering Light
The darkness is bleeding, the world is now bright
A journey of hope, a journey of soul
The beauty of silence has made us all whole.

No more the shouting, no more the steel
Just fields of lilies where the soft winds feel
The roses are blooming where the kings used to stand
A garden of peace spreading over the land
The boy and the cat walk the petals so sweet
The earth is a miracle beneath their feet.
