| The Outsider I am the shadow that walks in the night I am the one whose name you scream out in fright. I run and hide to save my life when someone shines in my eyes the blinding light I scream with you and outloud I pray; "Leave me alone! Let me hide from the day!" but as you and your hunters track me down and drag me out into the sun, and as you hurry me through the town I try to ruse and away run. It's hard to believe that there is no one out there whom I can call a friend. It's hard to accept that I am all alone, and it hurts to know I'll be feared until the end. All I want is a sould to love me and a place to call my own but one thing I do know and it makes you cry is that you will be dull and lonely until you die you fall apart when no one is around you slowly sink six feet underground. Oh, I can live in the darkness which most of you fear I roam where you dare not flee and this to you I make clear. I will one day see you all fall you will come to your knees to which you will crawl and I will stand alone in a void I will rule upon a golden thrown as I watch what you have made tumble to the ground. alone in the world I will be once again alive to the fact that I survived you, the pain. and when the earth rises once more I will be loved, not feared as once before. This one shall over come. This one who has outlased her foes. From the darkness I step out into the sun, and be adourned in beautiful clothes. But as I look toward your grave and remember all you gave the happiness whe shared long ago before you turned into the ones who shunned me and hid me away in the snow. I am the one that falls to my knees and I feel my heart stop and my body freeze my eyes see you, standing in the day and then you say... "Take me out into the sun, "Let us live as before, so long ago, Let is be again as one, "Forgive me thus my woes. "Let the birds fly so we can hear them sing, watch as our lives grow and take wing. Forget about the past behind is now, "I will love you till the last, "You can show me somehow. "chase this darkness out of me, "I've got so much more to give. "I want to be what we were meant to be, " 'tis the reason that I live. "Then thousands years before, "I promise you forever, "Now I beg you to say no more, "my love to you won't, ever." So let the music play and let the birds sing no longer am I feared nor do I fear the day. so let's live on the sun and dance upon the wind, this wonderful life that's just begun has promised not to end. |
