They’re falling gently from the heavens,
Singing their sweet, strange lullaby.
As tragedy strikes, they arrive in great packs
Here to offer assistance to those in need.

They’re fast approaching and we feel a rush of warmth
That now runs through our veins.
Everyone stops to stare, dazed with their elegance and charm.
And I find the youth are trembling with fright.
But I know they mean no harm.

And when they turn to go back, as their deed is done,
They leave us all restless.
But I know this was our fate.

And as I watch them go, I wish with all my heart
I could follow them, in their peace and harmony.
And as I watch them go, darkness casts a shadow
So that reality becomes unrecognisable.
And I know this was our destiny.
