One:

A kid with a mask

Cautious and face clasped 

Never close, never near

Never losing his fear

He sees a kid lack

Protection against death in black

Turns away to hide his worry

Over a kid that is now blurry

Humming a tune

A funeral song coming soon


Two:

A girl, brave and stupid

Hoping for wealth and love from Cupid

Finds a guy,

With golden tan and blue dye,

Like a warrior of long gone

Strong and brawn

Love comes, love goes

Tries again, another dried rose

Sings a song

A prayer to love and to belong


Three:

A boy with dark hair

Whining about life unfair

Rules suck, they really do

So why should he follow a rule that isn’t true?

He tries to change the status quo

But no one listens to a boy who doesn’t grow

So he tries to grow, to try again

Forgets his goal of before and then

A chorus sings

“Everybody has clipped wings”


We all have fears

We all have hopes

We all have dreams

We all have nightmares

We never give up

We never give in

We all want the same thing

Hopes and dreams and fears and nightmares

We all just need to listen to the voice inside

We all need to hear the song in our heart
