Miss Saigon
The Sacred Bird
(In KIM's room she has dressed TAM in his best clothes. She lights candles at her family shrine, then picks up the photo of her parents.)[KIM]From this picture I keepYou, my parents, look outAnd you smiles show no scornI am happy todayFor I know what to doAnd my heart is not tornSpirits know when to flyWhen it's timeThere's no reson to mournFor the great sacred bird is rebornFrom the ashes he'll riseAnd upon his wide wingsI'll watch you from aboveI will never be farBut my son, it's your turnTo know your father's loveI know now why I cameTo this earthIt's so you find your placeBut for that I must leave your embraceSongtexteYou will be with Your father nowGive all your love to himWhen I am goneTake one last look at meDon't forget what you seeFor now you must move onYou will be who you want to be - youCan choose whatever heaven grantsAs long as you can have your chanceI swear I'll give my life for youNo one will stop what I mjst doMy son, I'll give my life for you(She kisses TAM, prays before the shrine, hears people approching, blows out the candles.She checks to see that it is CHRIS comming.She gives TAM a toy, and disappears behond the bed curtain)
