good night good night
we said good night and not goodbye
he sleeps and sleeps and sweet dreams are made of these
while the white girl ghost ghostgirl girlghost
watches over him
and the friend who almost struck him down
stands watch with her
they watch him now while he floats so
high
so very high
above them
and while everyone else forgets
they are the ones who remember
while he becomes who he used to be
(this is sora
who will come to save us
who will bring the light back
to the way it used to be
this is sora
who will come to save us too
if he can forgive us)
this boy who's growing up so fast
and who's just sleeping part of himself away
and they wonder if it could have been any different
but they never say as much
(in the deepest part of what they have,
they really blame themselves)
and they come close at night
because all they have is each other
and in the shadows of his brilliance
it is so very very cold
there is so very much to learn
and they understand so little
all they know is that there has
never
been a longer year.
good night good night
we said good night and not goodbye
