EVANGELINE

Evangeline

Mud and Dark

Echo fell in love with the handsome Narcissus
Narcissus scorned those who adored him
and was oblivious to their affection

"Is anyone here?"
"Here, here"
"Come! Come!"

"I will die before I give you power over me"

"I give you power over me"

All that remains of Echo is her voice in caves
(All that remains of Echo is her voice in caves)
Still repeating only what others have said
(Still repeating only what others have said)

Narcissus leaned over a clear pool
For a drink and fell hopelessly
In love with his own reflected image

Consumed by the futile desire
To have his affection returned
Narcissus slowly wasted away
And Echo continued to love him

All that remains of Echo is her voice in caves
(All that remains of Echo is her voice in caves)
Still repeating only what others have said
(Still repeating only what others have said)

When death eventually overtook him
As he said his final farewell, farewell to his own image
She repeated the same words to him

Then Echo's flesh also wasted away
And her bones turned to stone
Today all that remains of Echo is her voice in caves

"Is anyone here?"
"Here, here"
"Come! Come!"
"I will die before I give you power over me"

"I give you power over me"

How do I feel about myself?
I try
I am resourceful
I contribute
I belong when I contribute

I don't have to be perfect
I'm accepting myself as I really am
I'm feeling love for my successes

Thank you for showing me respect (I think, "yes")
The foundation of my self respect ("I'm doing a fine job")

I think, "Yes...I'm doing a fine job."
I'm accepting myself as I really am

Thank you for your encouragement (I think,"yes")
For my efforts at improvement. ("I'm doing a fine job.")
