If the petals must fall (Artist's lament)
(© by Ko-Do 2005)

What good is a song
If words lose their meaning
Should I keep singin' on
When everybody stops dreaming
What's music at all
If they don't feel the power
And if the petals must fall
From the most beautiful flower

What good is a rhyme
When books can be burning
Why should I waste my time
When everybody stops learning
What's poetry at all
If they don't feel the power
And if the petals must fall
From the most beautiful flower

What good is a picture
When the colours are fading
Why use the brush's mixture
When everybody's hesitating
What's painting at all
If they don't feel the power
And if the petals must fall
From the most beautiful flower

What's the fine arts at all
If they don't feel the power
And if the petals must fall
From the most beautiful flower
What's the fine arts at all
If they don't feel the power
And if the petals must fall
From the most beautiful flower
