Across the Meadow

Across the meadow
Across the sea
Their life is brighter
Their life you should see

Across the meadow
Across the sea
Their leader so sagacious
To there, why don't we flee?

Across the meadow
Across the sea
Life is greener on the other side
Same goes for the village
Across the meadow and across the sea
Close your eyes, and then you will see

Shiny Star

I look upon the sky
In search of a star
I see comets fly
And stars shine

Oh shiny star
Shiny star that is so far
I wish my life
Shined as bright as you

I glance upon the starry sky
In awe of the shiny star
While the comet flies
And that star shines luminously

Oh shiny star
Shiny star that is so far
If only my life
Shined as bright as you

Hope and Sorrow

Though my hopes have been dashed by this rope
I will not choke
I was away my fears with my tears
And my sorrow clouded by smoke

Weak and weary, my life I hold so dearly
With a smile, I glance upon my captors
Though the sky is dreary, I see very clearly
With my visit to the captor's raptor

With the perching of the raven, I now see heaven
At its golden glorious gates, I'm free to roam
Dancing and prancing my heart needs saving
For today is the day I go home
