Days, months, endlessly changing
We stay here, mindlessly aging
    Stuck in our lives
        Humanity waning
Purpose and hope steadily draining

Always thinking about that future day
Where we think life would go the right way
    Only tomorrow
        No more today
How long can our joy be delayed?

Only ourselves and only our sea
Only what we’re expected to be
    But there’s many droplets
        That we did not see
Waiting for the day we can say we’re happy

I can conclude that we’re not aware
That meaning comes from the joy we share
    We should stop waiting
        We should start to care
For there is quite a large world out there

Life is an untamed surprise
An cycle that will never end
On the way we see what lies
Around the riverbend

There’s so much for us to face
Much that we don't comprehend
But let us travel to the place
Around the riverbend

There’s much that we adore
And much we won’t befriend
So don't wait for what’s in store
Around the riverbend

We floating and dancing free
And at the same time we’re penned
But let's see what there might be
Around the riverbend

We don’t know our future plans
But one day you’ll apprehend
So why not soar to the lands
Around the riverbend

We don’t know what we’ll become
But we know it’s not the end
So don’t fear what’s to come
Around the riverbend

She’s ran across the river streams
She’s danced inside sunlight’s beams
She’s climbed the most highest mountains
She’s traversed the steepest canyons

She’s jogged across wide plains of grass
She’s stared at life through sheets of glass
She’s dove into the deepest seas
She’s floated high with the softest breeze

But still she keeps searching for more to see
The greatest wonders not enough to thee
You may be wondering why she needs
To continue to go through these deeds…

It is because she is trying to find a place
A place in which she could embrace
As one place that she could call home
A place where she won’t be on her own

My caretaker from when I was young
A memory of the lullabies sung
From mountains we jumped
From treetops we swung
The violin on which my string is strung

The guide through the treacherous ways
My friend on the most playful days
She is the sun
And I’m the haze
That surrounds and bathes in her shining rays

She’s the ground and I’m the sky
She asks the question and I reply
She lets me flow
When my waters are dry
With her my river will never die

She’s the day and I’m the night
I promote her shining light
I’m the wood
That she ignites
The wings with which I can take flight

I know you travel the wind blown lands
And dance across the sun kissed sands
But when the day fades with the sun in tow
Then where will you go?

I know you laugh under moonlight’s beams
And swim joyfully in the soothing streams
But when the river’s currents cease to flow
Then where will you go?

I know you run through the muddy plains
And jump into seas to clean the stains
But when the bottoms of oceans begin to show
Then where will you go?

I know you trek up the highest mountains
And gust dandelion seeds by the thousands
But when the swirling and cheerful winds don’t blow
Then where will you go?

I know you run to escape from your past
And move before they catch you at last
But when your consumed by those crying woes
Then where will you go?

Once upon a time
There was a world so fine
And in it ruled a king
Who grew evil in his reign

Faithful subjects they may be
But one cannot help thee
When darkness begins to foil
And innocents begin to toil

Malice claimed the land
Through a dark ruler’s hand
And in dissatisfaction
Began the fabrication

War cleaves the world in two
Battlefields through and through
Red tinges the once clear water
But still battle cannot falter

So dark meets the dark
Joy now bleak and stark
Found not by deigning to fight
But by holding to the light

— OrcasTogether

Oh, how strong the pain
How long shall I need to feign
That tight smile, that fake laughter
When can this world look brighter?

Oh, how large my fears
How long shall I hold back tears
That spend decades gathering in my eyes
Suppressed by my childish lies?

Oh, how dark the sky
Those clouds forming way up high
They cry as their tears come crashing down
In the rain could I just drown?

Oh, how blue I feel
My life hiding behind a veil
Made by the horrors of the past
How long will this nightmare last?
