A Brighter Future
[warm violin, cello plays next, followed by a harp and piano] [melody] The thoughts in my head, filled me with dread. I'm a monster, loveless, freak. twelve years under a knife. Torn apart, day by day, only to, end up dead. [bridge with harp] I've hurt so many, dead by my knife. It's no excuse, to think they slept. I knew I didn't deserve this life. but here I am, alive and... better. [Violin plays with cello] [soft]la [up a pitch]la [lower]laaa [tone up]la [warm higher pitch]laaaa [a bit louder]LA laaaaaa [melody with harp] The winds blew my way, clearing the haze The water, cleansed my scars, my hurt. The winds brought me a song. The Light brought me, closer to you. [verse 1] Shattered by self doubt, my pain. To be lifted by my Dad and Mom. The two who took me in. I caused them grief, but still they held me. How blessed am I? [Harp plays with the piano] [warm]la [lower pitch]la [lower]laaa [tone up]la [warm softer pitch]laaaa [a bit louder]LA laaaaaa [Melody with piano] Keys, to the past, they saw my scars. he held me tight and saved my light. Mom cried to her Mittens. how can I deserve such a caress. [upbeat violin with harp] [verse 2] A date with a crow, a cutie. Black and white, splashed with red. He isn't afraid, he isn't fleeing from me. a cutie, a touch, washed in the light of a moon. [melody plays with harp and piano] A dance, seems to enjoy. even if I stepped on his foot. a meal, warm and at ease but in my mind, I don't deserve. All the pain, my past, those I hurt. if only I could erase. [Violin plays with cello, harp and piano] [soft]la [up a pitch]la [lower]laaa [tone up]la [warm higher pitch]laaaa [a bit louder]LA laaaaaa [verse 3] No don't run, don't turn your back. look at him, see him, touch his face. he hides his past like me. behind. this. mask. is my. cutie. [Violine plays vibrant, cello is back up] [outro] now it's not just me. face filled with a blush. a soft warm, and the drumming heart. [harp plays a fountain scale down] one day, he'll see my scars. one day, he'll know my past. but for now. enjoy this time. I'm enjoy it too. my cutie. [humming with music] hmmm ahhhhmmmm mmmmhhhhmmmmm mmmmhh
