I believe in a number of things
Horses, gators, even mammals with wings
I believe that a bird and a rat, got cozy one night
and that became that
that as in bat
a bat became that
from the bed of a bird and a rat.
the bird saw the rat being chased by the cat
that they had in common, the cat was a brat
So they chatted and chatted, till the chat became flat
I haven't a bed, but I do have this mat, said the rat.
This mat will do, the bird said as she sat.
soon that became that
that as in a bat
a bat became that
from the bed of a bird and a rat.
I'm tired

Hope, there is hope, I've seen her with my eyes.
To know hope, one needs not be smart, sharp, nor wise.
One needs to know how to fight, how to fight the good fight.
Because at the end of every tunnel, no matter how dark, there is always light.
Light for the future, the present, the past.
But the light will fade, if one does not act fast.
One must stay strong, plant yourself like a tree
take life's hardships with humor, with glee
because hope, to me, has always been a funny little thing
When we've got nothing it's to hope that we cling.
I don't know much, but I know this to be true.
If I can do it, then certainly so can you.
So hold on to hope, and never let go.
The benefits of this, I promise, will show.
Hope

The Aliens are coming for me, they're takin' me back
it's been about 16 years, I must be hard to track
I'm not from this crazy world, you see
and when they finally come, I'll be free
Free from this crazy world, all these crazy folks
You think I'm lying, you think this is a hoax?
I'm no lier, I'm an alien, I do not belong
Earthlings don't understand me, everything I do seems wrong
Which is why I can't wait to go back home, wherever that may be
And when I get there I'll finally be free.

I don’t know what to do.
Does anyone know? Do you?
I’m fine, of course, I’m asking for a friend.
This buddy of mine, he’s noticing a trend.
He’s been sad recently and he doesn’t know why.
He tells people he’s fine, of course, but that’s just a lie.
I think for the first time he feels completly alone.
Though normally he'd prefer being on his own.
This time is different, and he won’t accept assistance.
With any offer of help, he’d display resistance.
I don’t know what to do. his happiness, I cannot force.
...Me though, I’m fine, of course.
