• Crystal flakes
    Catch on tongues
    Lying in await
    Hurried people
    Walk in a daze
    And the children ask
    Why?

    Mist and dew
    Azured morning
    Holds midnight moon
    Pallid people
    With much to do
    And the children ask
    Why?

    Why the grim?
    Seek the treasures
    That lie within
    Telling secrets
    Of other times
    As we learn
    How to fly

    Open wide
    Slaying dragons
    That sleep inside
    Fighting impulse
    To run and hide
    As we learn
    How to fly

    We are the morning’s dawn
    We are the midday’s sun
    We will keep shining on
    Shining the light of one
