Knock, knock... I heard Hello there...... she said Hmm hello… I replied speechlessly Who are you...? I regained reluctantly Me! She answered. Oh I'm just a stranger A stranger who's searching- who's seeking a rest Somewhere I would belong, but somehow tis a quest For I've walked and tugged through those happy dangers But somehow they all came for the worth of my dangling dimes Like the world we live in- is where we are groom to serve the dime Or perhaps tis only me.... that I failed to erase those hurtful angers No matter how much I tried- but somehow I wish a rest of my own A place that stands with everything, but falls for nothing An arms that wishes serve- but commands like a King Are you..... [Silence]- Then she smiles Leaving me again.... speechless
Dock and run! My mind screamed Who is this? It suddenly exclaimed Who's this.... stranger- who just broke our walls! And walked right up the stairs- to the door of our heart To cry with a master’s call that makes us feel- we’re in danger Do you know who she is? No! I answered- but I do know me! I'm a ranger- I’m always running- always smiling n’ docking For I’ve gallop with my trumpet, but haven't met the mile The one that will play-out my little game of cunning's And care enough for my team- thus passing our test Our pretense of no dimes- till we can make the smiles For we have war and tossed with pretty mimic angels But they all went singing for the nickels and dimes And care less for our steadied, but precious times Yes! We need a rest of our own- but tis still okay It’s still okay to remain speechless
Lock-in… I’m now seated at the window With her last words still lingering on my mind “A rest of my own- a kingdom that I can control A throne to cherished, whenever there's war n cold A hand that will protect- till our hearts can beat old For there's history to make, so all the seas can be mild And there's battles to win- that all smoke maybe gone A union that serves, but backed by the likes of a King Who stands for everything, and falls for nothing" A mudslide is in Freetown- my walls are down A stranger cried croak, and they just tumbled down Down the mountain went- like that of the Victorian falls It stood against everything, but fell for something strange A queen- who has humor immured within her walls The stranger- who have made my nights Sleepless
