🎵 “You Don’t Have to Match the Map”*A Song from the Lunaleth to Backpack*

(Hmmmm mmmm mmmmm hmmmm mmmm mmmmm mmm mmmm mmmm mmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmm….) [Verse 1] You’ve got patchy seams and zigzag paws, A zipper smile and button jaws— But we don’t mind, we never will, You’re magic wrapped in cotton still. You tried so hard to look like us, You wore our whiskers, flopped and fussed— But stars aren’t shaped to fit one mold, And stories bloom when they unfold. [Chorus] You don’t have to match the map, Or fold your heart to fit a gap. You’re soft, and strange, and full of spark— A firefly glowing in the dark. So stay plush, stay weird, stay kind and true— There’s no one else who’s quite like you. [Verse 2] You hide your tail when you feel shy, You puff your chest when others cry. But brave and small is still enough— Your stitches make you extra tough. We see the shimmer in your stride, The secret grin you sometimes hide— So let the world look, let them stare, We’ll always know you’re real and rare. [Chorus] You don’t have to match the map, Or silence laughs when others clap. You’re plush and proud and part of us— A mimic, sure… but marvelous. So keep your squish, your wobble too— The world is better holding you. [Bridge – Whispered by the Lunaleth Children] Tail like a twisty vine, Eyes like a starry sign— Even if you shift or sway, You’re our friend every day. [Final Chorus – Soft and Slow] You don’t have to match the map, Just be yourself—no strings, no trap. We’ll march, we’ll nap, we’ll wander through— And always sing this song for you. Yes always sing… for you.
