Stay


I must stay here.

I don't believe in living on the edge. 

I feel safe in my room. 

I must to stay where I am, 

where I am common. 

 

If I leave I must soar 

above the constraints of my prison.

Brighten up the darkness 

with my soul. 

Collect the lost and make them found. 

 

I'm afraid I can't do that 

not by myself, you see,

I'm afraid of what I'll become. 

Flying beyond the fear 

and into the sun 

is imposible. 

I must stay here.
