CEO's Reborn Wife-Chapter 384 - 392: Filling in the Words

The first few lines are pieced together from several catchy nursery rhymes, three in total, taking their essence.

After the nursery rhymes, transitioned with a beat, Jane Sampson’s voice came through once again.

Every road has a light, shining for those returning home;

That is their direction, from where they come and go.

Every window has a light, guiding the weary birds back to their nests at night;

That is their divine glow, sheltering from wind and rain.

Crescent moon, oh, you shine even brighter than they.

Can you tell me where this road underfoot will take me at last?

Is it a direction where I can come and go?

Stars, oh brilliant stars, you shine even more splendidly;

Can you tell me, is there a window; 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Still lit, waiting for me with the divine glow to return to my roots?

Passersby say, at everyone’s feet, there’s a road leading home.

Can someone tell me why only I am forgotten?

Forgotten to be given a road.

Forgotten to be given a light.

Forgotten to be shown the way, so I can part the fog and find my home.

Dear mother, I have grown up, how are you?

Respected father, I have become sensible, how are you?

This world is so vast, are you still waiting for clumsy me, tirelessly searching for the way home?

Dear, respected, the parents I love.

Please, age a bit slower, leave a bit slower.

Hearing this, James Carter paused the recording, his hand gripping the mobile phone was trembling softly.

He rewound to the part starting with "Can someone tell me why only I am forgotten?" and listened again.

By the third listen, James Carter could confirm that when Jane sang this part, she was crying.

If he wasn’t familiar with her voice, this subtle repression of emotion would have been very hard to notice.

James Carter even had an illusion that within these lyrics, it seemed as though Jane was singing her own feelings.

As a listener, just hearing it once was enough to feel the strong emotions in the song, with a powerful impact that clutched at the heart of the listener.

The final line, "Dear mother, I have grown up, how are you? Respected father, I have become sensible, how are you?"

James Carter heard in this lyric the yearning and respect of a child far from home towards their parents, and yet within that yearning and respect, he could discern the singer’s carefulness in the brief "I have grown up" and "I have become sensible."

The deliberate "I have grown up," "I have become sensible," seemed like she was worried about being rejected, trying to please the unknown parents carefully with "I am fine."

It was a child’s panic towards all the unknown and the very conflicting longing.

Indeed, just by hearing the first half, James Carter was completely amazed by the lyrics and exclaimed at Jane’s powerful emotional expression in her singing.

Pressing continue, James Carter let his thoughts drift as he listened to the rest of the song.

A song lasting four minutes, and it was the last line that truly struck James Carter’s heart.

Dear daddy and mommy, I want to make a promise with you.

No matter how hard or tiring, I will never give up searching for the road home.

So please, don’t give up on me either.

This small section had a clear difference in tone from the beginning, like whispering softly, also like making a humble plea; perhaps, what was being pleaded for, was nothing more than a God out of reach.

James Carter listened several times before exiting the recording, only then noticing there was a message before it, with two pictures attached, showing the music sheet with complete lyrics, more than what he had given to Jane.

At this moment, James Carter thought, this was what he and John Young had been waiting for so long, the very lyrics they were waiting for.
