I am as transparent as a crystal vase
With stems of roses within its heart
That reflects the beauty of nature and the meaning of life
Brilliant yet perplexed
I am transparent like the moonlight
That shines through the darkness
And connects with my thoughts
I am transparent like a child\'s giggle
That buries an innocent lie into his heart
I am as transparent as a wish
That grants the gift of sacrifice
My transparency is always bright
Though my surroundings may change
It always sees the untold truth within my heart
