I wish for you to see the light
What is light?
Dividing day and night
Day and night?
I wish for you to feel the breeze
Show the way
To live life with joy and ease
Must feel great
View the world from afar
What is sight?
Be there no sun, there will be stars
Sun and stars
Feel the earth between you toes
What are toes
Up above we must go
We will go
It may take a load of time
We don’t mind
Might be a couple thousand years
Save our kind
Yet we must return life
Set us free
To this place that is so near
From the sea
Now departing lands they’ve always known
Up and up they go
Pressure dropping as they go
Then, after many years had past
To the surface came at last
Sons and daughters of the bold
There, they couldn’t breathe in the new air
Though they saw the land was fair
It served to strengthen their resolve
here, traveller receives voice of tree
But through some robot trickery
Filtered out its frequencies
Sea was their home
and now they must grow legs from tail
Guided by traveller
Who patiently showed them the way
City was founded
round the tree that thwarted the years
Many more like it
embarking on happier days
What stands on death
Turns centre to life
This marks the end
Of leaders design
And so comes the day
Takes filter away
Ere long hears anew
Tree and him in tune
Returns to his brain
That which it says
For membrance long
He turns what he hears into song
Casting away his robot limbs
Leaving behind country of life
Lost to the wind
Traveller sings
Through the leaves of the tree
Never shall be lost
Their story
