Quest
after Jacques Brel ‘La quête’
To dream
What they say cannot be
To bear
The pains of goodbye
To burn
With unquenchable passion
To risk
What no one will dare
With a love
That can tear you apart
To love, too much or too hard
To seek
Guided only by trust
To want
What I can never hold
That is the quest
To cling to that trust
To seek
And not to lose hope
Face to face with despair
See the years passing by
To continue to search
Without needing to find
To dare to believe
That love will shine through
Will it always be so?
They’re right,
I cannot know
Yet it lightens my heart
And the light
Will shine clear and blue
From this tired soul
Who burns
With unquenchable fire
Still yearns
Though they say I’m a fool
Who dreams
Through the pain and the sorrow
Who seeks
What must somewhere
Be true
