Sweet nightingale with tears flowing down
She lay silent and still, releasing no sound
Her heart is pierced and sharp wounds were found
Dressed up with a smile to disguise her frown
Sweet nightingale with sadness in her eyes
Where are her dreams, her thoughts and youthful smile?
She turned to look for love everlasting
But only found a heart with a desperate cry, and dying
Sweet nightingale shed another heartbroken tear
To her surprise, a tender hand came and comforted her
He looked at her with heavenly delight
And said, “Don’t worry; you’re going to be all right.”
Sweet nightingale was left speechless
And left at awe at his loving caress
He patched up her wound and mended her brokenness
And taught her to have faith, have courage and be boundless
Sweet nightingale took a deep breath and closed her eyes
She started singing a song, and her heavenly father cries
Not tears of sorrow, but of joy and happiness
For sweet nightingale finally realized that his love is ceaseless
Sweet nightingale continued her superlative song
And her other half heard her from afar
He came to his heavenly father, singing her song
“Is sweet nightingale the one that I’ve waited for so long?”
Sweet nightingale met her other half’s loving gaze
For the longest time, she has yearned to see his face
Their heavenly father brought them before his throne of grace
And released them into the world, together, from heaven’s glorious gates
