Keri

In the pages before me the story was told 
Of a young brilliant angel who was left in the cold 
And her black & white life turned all shades of grey 
Her eyes clouded by the promises that never came her way 

So she sailed to the shoreof safety 
And collasped in the arms of a dream 
The fairy tale life looked good from the outside 
But inside she was crying for relief 
Yes inside she was crying for relief 

Keri I know you’re listening 
Can you hear me please 
Don’t close your heart out from the world 
Don’t forget who you wanted to be 
Keri, Keri don’t 

Like a thief in the night she was put in a cage 
As the spectators watch with their silent rage 
And the story continues, the stars dance in the sky 
And the angel remembers why she wanted to fly 

In the silence of the dark night 
The wind it would gently brush her face 
To remind her of her quiet desperation 
To bring her to another place 
Bring her to another place 

Keri I know you’re listening 
Can you hear me please 
Don’t close your heart out from the world 
Don’t forget who you wanted to be 
Keri, Keri don’t 

Fly away, use your wings and fly 
Fly away, use your wings and fly 
Fly away, fly 

Keri I know you’re listening 
Can you hear me please 
Don’t close your heart out from the world 
Don’t forget who you wanted to be 
Keri, Keri don’t
