Mother 3 love theme - Sunflower Fields

[DrumUltimA]

I started experimenting with the mother 3 love theme, wrote some lyrics. I think i'm gonna want a female voice for this for sure, and perhaps a male voice later ala duet. here's what I've got so far:

and the lyrics:

If I could raise the world,

How would the world want to be raised?

Would it want my love and praise,

And in my bounty grow?

Or would it turn away?

Repel my love, and fester hate...

Turn to a cold, metallic state,

An endless stoic snow.

And all the people there,

Would they let love enrich their beings?

Or would it crust against their seething,

Faceless iron domes?

If I could raise just one?

Or maybe two, or three, or four,

Who knows what would be in store

For the entire world.

For I know I

Would let them fly

Watch them help, or hurt eachother

Foes or friends, or even lovers!

But I will watch from here

Under blue skies, in sunflower fields

Who knows what this world would yield

If I could let it bloom.

my voice is in place of the female voice right now. Tell me what you think so far--especially in regards to the lyrics!

Beautiful, the only part i'm hesitant on is "watch them help or hurt each other/foes or friends, or even lovers." Alright, and i'm not sure if it was just how you sung it, but maybe "sunflower" (which i think is critical) was slightly odd.

But these lyrics are amazing. Bringing tears to my eyes at 2:17 in the morning.

hey, my mp3 disappeared! Too bad

New lyrics:

If I could make the world,

How would the world want to be made?

Would it want my love and praise,

And in my bounty grow?

Or would it turn away?

Repel my love, and fester hate...

Turn to a cold, metallic state,

An endless stoic snow.

And all the people there,

Would they let love enrich their beings?

Or would it crust against their seething,

Faceless iron domes?

If I could raise just one?

Or maybe two, or three, or four,

Who knows what would be in store

For that one earthly home.

But I know I

Would let them fly

Watch them help, or hurt eachother

Friends and foes, strangers and brothers!

And I will stay up here

Under blue skies, in sunflower fields

Who knows what this world would yield

If I could let it bloom.

If I could change the world,

how would the world want to be changed?

Would it want fresh new wheels and paint,

Or speed away the same?

And all the people there,

Would they adapt to all my visions

Or would they stick to their provisions

and turn away once more?

But I know I

Would let them try

Find their path, pursue hapiness

Let them battle fear and sadness

And I will watch from here

Under blue skies, in sunflower fields

Who knows what this world would yield,

If I could drive it too.

If I could save the world

Would the world want to be saved?

Would it let me take it's pain,

And leave all that's divine?

And all the people there,

Would they run free from death forever

Or would that innocence be severed

By their own design?

But I know I

Would let them die

Let them fear, and hate, and murder

Fight their wars, and kill their martyrs!

And I would weep up here

Under blue skies, in sunflower fields

Who knows what this world would yield,

If I could fight it too.

But I can't change the world

I can only wait, and see

your smile your tears, your face, your journey

Until you're here with me

And I know I

Will let you fly

Watch you help or hurt eachother

Friend and foe, stranger and brother!

But I will wait for you

Under blue skies, in sunflower fields

And wonder what the world could yield

'Till I can be with you.
