Stand back, look forward, blink and it’s gone

18 years, how many tears? Show them that you’re strong

Closed eyes, clenched fists; join the chorus, hear the song

Chant the anthem, sing the hymn– God I miss the sun

Black night, full moon, I feared them both the same

I was scared of werewolves, tall men and that black dog called shame

I cared what they thought, what they said and who they fought

Noughts and crosses, X’s and O’s, what I should and what I ought

Then one day it came to me, or should I say one night

I slept, I changed, I dreamed, I flew– I saw the sun in flight

I dreamed of red, of blue, of pink, but black still blurred my sight

Paper cuts and laser cuts, something wrong? I’ll fix you

But when it’s a planet that’s cut, thats broken, thats torn, does it get fixed too?

End each other, end us all– it’s all part of the plan

But who’s to say we wont continue to fight, when we get to the great white land?

War and Peace are overrated, everyone just chill right out

Grab a drink, grab a beanbag and try to talk it out

FLy together, not in a plane

but grow wings out of your shoulders

Force the night away, greet the sun

it’s your friend– your oldest
