DOWN TO EARTH
Standalone

Mia Palencia
Amare Et Servire

School bus at the gate
Start the daily regime
Pinafore and baju kurung
Was it just a dream?

Race you to the line
Religion played no scheme
Agama was a class you went to
Was it just a dream?

We were all the daughters of St. Francis
“Amare et Servire” was our creed
I was me and you were friend and we were sisters to the end
Is this the way it ends, my loves?

Yellow clean sunrise
Marred by crimson haze
Blessed are the ones who try to understand

I want to understand

We were all the daughters of St. Francis
“Amare et Servire” was our creed
I’m still me, can we stay friends and kindred spirits to the end?
Don’t let this be the end, my loves
