Helena

Verse 1

There once were seven daughters born

When earth was young and skies untorn,

Seven sisters walked through mist and flames,

And time still whispers their old names.

Though ages passed and years grew wild,

They live in every daughter's child,

Their ancient footsteps still remain

Within our joy, our love, our pain.

Chorus

And you, Helena, are mine,

Your unseen blood runs through my spine;

I am your daughter, far away,

Yet shaped by you from yesterday.

And often, Helena, I wonder still,

What dreams once stirred your heart and will.

Did flowers call your soul in spring?

Did forest birds make gladness sing?

(Verse

Did you find comfort among the trees,

And peace within the autumn breeze?

Did gentle creatures earn your care?

Did loneliness once find you there?

Did you know love both fierce and deep,

Or promises too frail to keep?

Were you abandoned, left unheard,

Like falling leaf or wounded bird?

Chorus

What brought you sorrow, Helena?

What shadow lingered in your day?

Did winter’s cold invade your home,

With silent nights and bitter morn?

Or did your spirit wake anew

When April skies returned their blue?

Perhaps, like me, your heart would roam

When amber autumn called you home.

(Verse

I think of all you could have been,

The unseen places you have seen;

And though our souls are not the same,

I carry still your living flame.

For mothers never truly part,

They echo softly in the heart;

And somewhere in my voice, my face,

Your ancient soul still leaves its trace.

Chorus

What brought you joy, Helena?

Did happiness filled your days?

Did summers brighten your home,

With silver dew and fragrant morn?

So when I walk through woods alone,

What brought you joy, Helena?

Did happiness filled your days?

Did summers brighten your home,

With silver dew and fragrant morn?

So when I walk through woods alone,

Or hear the wild wind’s solemn tone,

I feel you near me, calm and free —

Helena, you are still living in me.
