Die lirieke van
Monsters van James Blunt wat hy vir sy pa geskryf het nadat sy pa gediagnoseer was met
stage four chronic kidney Disease op daardie stadium, het my vandag laat dink hoe my sus ons eie moederlief versorg het tot op die laaste. Hoe die rolle omgeruil was en sy vir mamma voorgelees het, geestelike musiekies gespeel het en haar vertel het dit is tyd om te laat los, die 'monsters' is verjaag uit die kamer en sy kan nou pynvry gaan rus soos in die lirieke: '....while you're sleeping, I'll try to make you proud so, daddy, won't you just close your eyes? I'll read you a story. Don't be afraid, it's my turn to chase the monsters away...'
Watter voorreg het sy nie gehad om daar te kon wees toe die rolle omgeruil was nie.
James Blunt MONSTERS.[Verse 1]
Oh, before they turn off all the lights
I won't read you your wrongs or your rights
The time has gone
I'll tell you goodnight, close the door
Tell you "I love you" once more
The time has gone, so here it is
[Chorus]
I'm not your son, you're not my father
We're just two grown men saying goodbye
No need to forgive, no need to forget
I know your mistakes and you know mine
And while you're sleeping, I'll try to make you proud
So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
Don't be afraid, it's my turn
To chase the monsters away
[Verse 2]
Oh, well I'll read a story to you
Only difference is this one is true
The time has gone
I folded your clothes on the chair
I hope you sleep well, don't be scared
The time has gone, so here it is
[Chorus]
But I'm not your son, you're not my father
We're just two grown men saying goodbye
No need to forgive, no need to forget
I know your mistakes and you know mine
And while you're sleeping, I'll try to make you proud
So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes?
Don't be afraid, it's my turn
To chase the monsters away
[Bridge]
Sleep a lifetime
Yes and breathe a last word
You can feel my hand on your own
I will be the last one so I'll leave a light on
Let there be no darkness in your heart
