Miss Saigon movie - The Sacred Bird lyrics

rate me

<br>

(In KIM's room she has dressed TAM in his best clothes. <br>

She lights candles at her family shrine, then picks up the photo of her parents.)<br>

<br>

[KIM]<br>

From this picture I keep<br>

You, my parents, look out<br>

And you smiles show no scorn<br>

I am happy today<br>

For I know what to do<br>

And my heart is not torn<br>

Spirits know when to fly<br>

When it's time<br>

There's no reson to mourn<br>

For the great sacred bird is reborn<br>

<br>

From the ashes he'll rise<br>

And upon his wide wings<br>

I'll watch you from above<br>

I will never be far<br>

But my son, it's your turn<br>

To know your father's love<br>

I know now why I came<br>

To this earth<br>

It's so you find your place<br>

But for that I must leave your embrace<br>

<br>

You will be with <br>

Your father now<br>

Give all your love to him<br>

When I am gone<br>

Take one last look at me<br>

Don't forget what you see<br>

For now you must move on<br>

<br>

You will be who you want to be - you<br>

Can choose whatever heaven grants<br>

As long as you can have your chance<br>

I swear I'll give my life for you<br>

<br>

No one will stop what I mjst do<br>

My son, I'll give my life for you<br>

<br>

(She kisses TAM, prays before the shrine, <br>

hears people approching, blows out the candles.<br>

She checks to see that it is CHRIS comming.<br>

She gives TAM a toy, and disappears behond the bed curtain)<br>
