A decomposition of carbon atoms
To mother nature as we came
Back to where life started from
From Earths crust to the rain
Remember that field of dandelions?
Every tree once bare grew buds
A group of us laid on our backs
Our feet were stained with traces of mud
We didn’t even need to talk
We only needed to exist
So one who travels up to heaven
Will be silent knowing this
A decomposition of carbon atoms
A person we loved we lost
His body cold, his hands lost touch
Our spirits pay the cost
For every tear we ever shed
For every saddened glance
For every dandelion in one field
This life is our one chance
There we lay in that same field
This time the stars shined bright
The dandelions have closed their buds
They’ve gone home for the night
