timel the samurai - stella's story lyrics

[intro]
[sampled: peter saul]

this is a quote from dame cicely saunders
whom i met when i was a medical student
she founded the hospice movement
and she said, “you matter because you are, and you matter
to the last moment of your life.”
and i firmly believe that that’s the message
that we have to carry forward. thank you

[verse 1]
when we come into this world
we’re like seed that heaven planted
falling straight into bellies of our mothеrs
bringing joy into the family
people smiling all around
stеlla thought back through the years, how she played around her mom
running through her mother’s legs, chasing matthew round the house
how her mother would just smile
say no running through the house, everything was going easy
everything was going normal
lived a life she felt she borrowed
then her mother heard a call
phone was shaking on the table
bringing sorrow to her home
tears were rolling from her face
stella saw her mom and asked
mama what you crying for
mama turned to her said
everybody has a clock
everyone will have a moment
when they’ll drop unto the floor, hourglasses set in heaven
each one faster than the other
angels waiting for arrivals
demons fighting for the torture
never knowing where we’ll end up
listen to me baby girl
grandma went to a place
so much better than this one
where she’s smiling everyday, never feeling all this pain
never walking with her cain, no more wrinkles on her face
like the pictures of her childhood
looking younger as those days
when heaven draws a raffle
everybody has to play
[hook]

uhn yeah

stella’s story yeah
yeah

[verse 2]
soon the years went by
stella’s grown and now a lady
she’s a doctor in the city
treating people on a daily
seeing people pass away
stella sat and deeply wondered
how do people reach those places
what exactly is the ticket
what exactly is the signal
do we even know the moment
will we even get a notice
will our bodies know it’s fading
falling steady through the darkness, heading faster to our judgement
different people, different races, destinations still the same
now stella’s getting married
her emotions still same
she’s bothered about living
till the moment when she drops
she speaking to her mother
she exposing all her fears
her mother started laughing
at the things that she was saying
her mother whispered something
making stella shed a tear
now she’s walking down the isle
eyeing people all around
she’s nervous and she’s shaking
but she smiling at her man
the marriage was successful
stella grew into a mother
she’s caring her children
and her precious husband too
she looking at her life and
how she’s growing older too
she’s thankful for lessons
that her mother put her through
she’s feeling like a feather
no more fear of letting go
she’s smiling at the future
every day she’s getting close
the world is feeling brighter
where we headed doesn’t matter
she’s smiling the whisper
that her mother told her then
live your life up to the fullest
don’t be evil on your way
the paths we choose take
lead us each to different gates
the fear of death is futile
every human has a date
the smile you put on others
brings you closer to his grace
i’m telling you this story
may your mental stay awake
[hook]
uhn yeah
uhn yeah
uhn yeah
yeah yeah
stella’s story yeah
yeah
