Hear a calling from afar
A gentle voice brings words unspoken
Little angel learned to fly
But she fell down, her wings were broken
Days passed, weeks passed and still no word. No word of how she was. No word if she'd survived.
(She'll survive. She'll survive.)
Daemon hoped, hoped so sweetly, a hint, a whisper, of her would come to him. Let him know how, where, she was.
(She's okay. She's okay)
He knew he had to believe. The kindred were healing her. They'd make her live.
Everyday she dies inside
Can't close her eyes and shut it out
Little angel hear her cry
She's calling you, her heart is broken
Would she be the same? What if her body was healed but not her mind? What if she was forever changed?
(She'll survive. She'll survive.)
He could accept it if she was changed. He knew he could. He just hoped he was happy when he was done accepting.
(She's okay. She's okay)
Everything would be fine. He'd believe. And hope, hope it'd be enough.
Is it you? Is it you? You…
Never let the fire burn out
That spark hope, it's all she's got
Little angel tried to fly
But she fell down, her wings are broken
Hope and love. All he could rely on for now. It had to be enough.
(She'll survive. She'll survive.)
If she were gone, oh if she was gone… He couldn't think of that. He had to think of her. Of her in all her glory.
(She's okay. She's okay.)
She'll come back. She must. Word would come soon, he was sure. She'd be back before he knew it. She had to be. He was nothing without her, just an empty shell.
Is it you?
End.
