The Poet Sky

I'm scared of what will come But united we can overcome

Each test, each war, each trial So let's sit down and listen a while

We've got to reach over and extend a hand Offer a chance to work together and take a stand

We can't let our differences tear us apart We can work together, and here's where we start

The rain falls and cleanses my soul as I dance barefoot on the grass The trees applaud when I take a bow They're thrilled with my show

Won't you share with me a slice of community? There's plenty for everyone So why don't you have some?

I stand in a forest, a million paths in front of me Each one a different choice, a different person I could be

I've taken roads I thought were bright But those only brought another plight

Some paths were dark and full of fear, But in the end, they brought me here

We lay back and unwind Both saying what's really on our minds

We look back on the days long ago The days of laughter and the days of woe

We can laugh about it now It's hard to think how

(Told from the perspective of Princess from Girl in Red)

I used to be weak and small All I ever did was fall I wanted a fairy tale Even though I always fail I think I can do it

A stroke of lightning Everything is on fire What could we have done?

War Started by a single shot No good or evil Only humans fighting

Thrown off a shooting star, I drifted through space I watched stars pass by, but none offered me their light Then I found your star with its pale glow I basked in its light, and offered what I could of my own

Every time I make a mistake That mistake creates another vulture circling Hanging there, waiting To remind me of that time I was less than I could be
