Approaches Of The Madonna

How am I to approach this walk with you?

How am I to bear it?

You ask too much of me.

I will not, cannot let this happen.

I will not walk into your death

Am I, who laboured fiercely to give you life,

now required to labour impossibly cruelly to let you die?

No! No! This was not the promise of conception

the reason for my song.

I will not walk into your death

You ask too much of me.
