|
There must be blood, and this I knew. |
|
Surely there can be wonders, too. |
|
I cannot leave the cages locked, |
|
or well enough alone. |
|
I can only be myself |
|
when I am so far from home. |
|
It's the wonders that I'm after, |
|
even if I have to bleed, |
|
and make very rash decisions |
|
for the sake of what I need. |
|
Dancing kisses on my cheek, |
|
it's the wonders that I seek, |
|
and I swear I am not afraid. |
|
There must be blood, and this I knew. |
|
I believe there must be wonders, too. |
|
I'll take up this quest-just say the word- |
|
even though I am small |
|
and I have no sword. |
|
A party at the end is not required, |
|
and I promise I'll keep trying, |
|
even if I get tired. |
|
It's the wonders that I'm after, |
|
even if I have to fight. |
|
It'll all be hard and bloody, |
|
even when I get it right. |
|
I know stories change their faces |
|
on an inconsistent basis, |
|
but I swear I am not afraid! |
|
There must be blood, and this I knew. |
|
I believe there must be wonders, too. |
|
If somersaults and lanterns aren't |
|
the order of the day, |
|
I will still take up my weapons, |
|
and I'll be on my way. |
|
I am stubborn and won't listen, |
|
But I've made it this far, |
|
and I'd really like |
|
to stay. |
|
here must be blood, and this I knew. |
|
Surely there can be wonders, too. |
|
I cannot leave the cages locked, |
|
or well enough alone. |
|
I can only be myself |
|
when I am so far from home. |
|
It's the wonders that I'm after, |
|
even if I have to bleed, |
|
and make very rash decisions |
|
for the sake of what I need. |
|
Dancing kisses on my cheek, |
|
it's the wonders that I seek, |
|
and I swear I am not afraid. |
|
There must be blood, and this I knew. |
|
I believe there must be wonders, too. |
|
There must be blood, and this I knew. |
|
I believe there must be wonders, too. |
|
Wonders |
|
too |
|
Don't be afraid, |
|
whatever you do! |
