Reaching for safety,
Wanting help,
Waiting,
Wanting,
Needing,
Safety from,
The fears of an unknown world.

Waiting,
Wanting,
Needing,
Someone to face
This unknown world.
Prepared to be the hero
Or to fail.

Waiting,
Wanting,
Needing,
The next hero
To walk into this new world
And overtake it
With courage and grace.

Waiting,
Wanting,
Needing,
Someone to
Leave their own safety,
Take risks,
And live.

I couldnt sleep last night because i was in your dream with you
Satisfying our lusts of adventures

Even a white rose
Has a shadow

everybody wants to be right absolutely
but I, I am always wrong
and always right
so are you.
liberating, isn't it?
now all that's left is for us to understand each other.

that's the summer the war starts
the blood runs thicker
the nights go colder
but we're still so poor
so we huddle for warmth

that fall we must contribute to the effort
"all able over 18
must enlist"
but you're still so young and I worry so much
you join anyways

we thought it had been a cold summer
it was tropical compared to winter
your growing body wraps around mine
you're getting taller
(but I'm still not that small
you're just so
tall)

that spring the birds sing
the ground breaks and even though
the flowers are coated with blood
it's still
the most beautiful spring
I've ever seen
