[Intro] [Verse]     Morningside        the old man died and no one cried they simply turned away. And when he died he left a table made of nails and pride and with his hands he carved these words inside; "For my children." [Verse]     Morning light         morning bright I spent the night with dreams that make you weep. Morning time wash away the sadness from these eyes of mine for I recall the words the old man signed; "For my children." [Chorus] (spoken) And the legs were shaped with his hands and the top made of oaken wood and the children that sat around this great table touched with their laughter ah and that was good. [Verse]     Morningside         an old man died and no one cried he surely died alone. And truth is sad for not a child would claim the gift he had the words he carved became his epitaph; "For my children." [Outro]

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque la mort d'un vieil homme qui, à son départ, laisse derrière lui un héritage chargé d'émotions et de souvenirs. Bien que sa disparition passe inaperçue, il avait consacré sa vie à créer une table symbolique, faite de fierté et d'amour, sur laquelle il a gravé un message précieux pour ses enfants : un appel à l'unité et à la mémoire. Les instants de joie partagés autour de cette table contrastent avec la tristesse de son départ et soulignent l'importance des liens familiaux. Il est poignant de constater que malgré son don, ses enfants semblent ignorer la valeur de son message et l'impact qu'il a eu sur leur vie. Ce départ, solitaire et triste, amène à réfléchir sur l'héritage que l'on laisse et sur la manière dont nous chérissons ceux qui nous ont précédés.
