PERCY'S POV
Ten years ago...
I was on the stage I had no idea what I was doing I just knew I had to sing. I had forgotten the song. So I just sung the one song I knew by heart: Clocks
The lights go out and I can't be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
Have brought me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead singing
Come out of things unsaid
Shoot an apple off my head
And a trouble that can't be named
A tiger's waiting to be tamed singing
You are
You are
Confusion never stops
Closing walls and ticking clocks
Gonna come back and take you home
I could not stop that you now know singing
Come out upon my seas
Cursed missed opportunities
Am I a part of the cure?
Or am I part of the disease? Singing
You are
You are
You are
You are
And nothing else compares
And nothing else compares
And nothing else compares
You are
You are
Home, home where I wanted to go
Home, home where I wanted to go
Home, home where I wanted to go
Home, home where I wanted to go
Well I was only 5 and it was my kindergarten recital ... So can you blame me? (Plus I bet that Coldplay sounded a lot cooler than the ABC's rap!) And I must of sounded good beacaus as soon I finished the gym went nuts! I ran back to the stands next to my best friend Grover "Dude, that... Was awesome!" he said in a hushed whisper. "Really?" I said, "Totally"
1 hour later...
"Percy...What was that? I had no idea you were so talented!" Said my mom "Of course you think that! Your my MOM!" then all the sudden I see man running towards us. "Huff...Huff...Your kids got pipes Miss..." "Jackson" the man neeled next to me "What's your name...I'm Zeus Grace" "Percy" my mom gasped "Zeus Grace ! you mean the record producer who exploits young children with talent!" "That's me!" he said proudly "I think your son Percy has some real talent " "THERE IS NO WAY THAT IM GOING TO HAVE MY 5-YEAR-OLD SON EXPLOITED AND PARADED AROUND LIKE A TRAINED BABOON!" said my Mom "Well if you change your minds" he gave me and my Mom cards that said :
