There's a lovely, gentle lady, who lives a quiet life,
Has spent some years alone, not a mother, nor a wife.
She has a cat called 'Timmy' he's always on her lap,
She feeds him only salmon, and he's ok with that!
She doesn't really leave the house, she's happy in her place;
She finds the world so harsh and loud, prefers her quiet space.
No energy to even think of finding company,
So she sits there on her own, and let's the world just be.
She wears such lovely dresses as she floats around her home.
She plays her favourite music, often dances on her own,
And when she does, she sometimes gets a little spark of light,
Reminding her of all the truth she's hiding deep inside...
She's accepted that life's passed her by, no energy to fight.
She's accepted that this world is hard, it's tough to find the light.
She's accepted she's not needed and she'll fade into the night.
She's accepted, but it hurts, for her heart knows that's a lie
A voice inside her whispers "There's still more time to live,
The world so needs your light, you've so much love to give."
Her truth pours out in rivers, sends tingles to her skin.
In that moment she has choice: lie it out, or look within.
Not one of us is born to fade, though some get lost in night.
We're born to fill with light and then explode into the sky.
Each one of us so special but many hide away,
So many unknown children that still have time to play.
There's a hidden constellation behind so many doors,
There's stars that choose to dim their light, lose faith in evermore,
But it only takes a moment to find that shine again;
It only takes a change in thought to break free from the chains.
Every single star makes this universal love,
The night can be so dark till we send our shine above.
I hope one day she finds the strength to feel her truth again,
For everyone holds sparkle - no one's born to fade away.
