Annotation by Justin A. Brummer

Lyrics

English: Tell me more about what I have to see on my father’s final day (last day) / Have to try to keep a grip on the wheel on my father’s final day / Head-o-lights are shining n passing away on my father’s final day / Weathervane and air’s not moving at all on my father’s final day / All the fish in the lake have fallen asleep on my father’s final day / Like a dream I saw a long time ago on my father’s final day / And I stood up, and I stood up, all the grass was soft and under my step... / And my feet were bare and walking away, on my father’s final day / And I stood up, and I stood up, strawberry dream had a story for me / In the middle of a field sitting in the dirt I put my ear up close / I could smell it too as for you, my dear / The high blue sky above has a love for you, even in the rain / Or a cold and windy day it’s enough for you / Growing in the earth you can feel the heat and your memories... / Even in the night if you see the stars it’s enough for you / Little strawberry, you were born in dirt but you’re so colorful / Even in the dirt you’re still so beautiful, strawberry oh / What I often think the most important thing is seeing your own dream / The place you want to go is a place where you should go / The most important thing is following your dream... / When all is wonderful I wish I could meet you
