Grew up in a small town
and when the rain would fall down
I'd just stare out my window
Katniss lived in District 12 her whole life, living in the small mining area called the Seam. Spring was coming and so did the rain. Her father had died in a mining accident. It was awful and her mother became depressed and had trouble taking care of Katniss and her sister.
One rainy day Katniss was trying to sell old clothes but no one bothered. She went behind the shops of town, looking for food in the trash-cans when the baker's wife came and told her to go away. Realising she had no food to bring back to her family, she gave up. Katniss sat beneath the apple tree behind the Bakery. She heard the woman scream and a boy came out with burnt bread. He didn't glance her way, but he threw them to her and ran back inside. He had given her hope. That was five years ago.
Dreaming of what could be
and if I'd be happy
I would pray
Katniss dreamed of a place with no games. She knew she'd be happier. But it was only in her dreams and would never happen. She'd pray that she'd get enough food for her family and some extra money for her family. Katniss knew in reality that once a year, there was a chance she could die. This year there would be a chance her little sister Prim would die. The chances were slim. As slim as they get.
Prim had been reaped. Katniss knew what she had to do.
Trying hard to reach out
but when I tried to speak out
I felt like no one could hear me
Katniss volunteered in Prim's place. Katniss would go into the games, she knew she would die. But she had to fight, she had to for Prim. The buy who gave her the bread was reaped, too. She had never properly thanked him for saving her life by giving her the bread. She felt trapped in a web with no way out. Katniss had to win for Prim. She had to try. But something felt wrong. She couldn't place it. She felt like she didn't belong here.
Wanted to belong here
something felt so wrong here
so I prayed I could break away
A miracle happened. Peeta and Katniss both made it out of the arena alive. She kept her promice to Prim. After all the pain something came out of worth. Sadly, no one believed that she loved Peeta. The President was unconvinced.
They were called back into the arena. Katniss wanted to get Peeta out. Peeta wanted Katniss out just as bad. Their plans didn't work. The rebels took Katniss and the Capitol got Peeta.
Suddenly, Katniss was doing something she thought would help people. She didn't feel left out. Katniss Everdeen was the face of the rebellion.
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes 'til I touch the sky
and I'll make a wish
She had one wish. Peeta. They had to get him out of the Capitol and into safety. They finally do but something is wrong. He has been tortured and believes Katniss killed his family. Therefor, he thinks Katniss should die and tries to kill her himself.
Take a chance
Make a change
and breakaway
Katniss felt in the web again. She couldn't let Peeta stop her. She had to defeat the Capitol.
Out of the darkness and into the sun
I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk
Katniss fought hard for the rebellion. Taking many risks. The Capitol was defeated. The Rebellion won. But Katniss had a new war to face. Again, Peeta.
It took a long time. Finally, one day, he said three words that mean the most. I love you.
Wanna feel the warm breeze
sleep under the palm trees
feels the rush of the ocean
Katniss took him to District 4 to see Annie and her son. They went to the beach and spent a day by the ocean. It was best day Katniss ever had.
Get onboard a fast train
travel on a jet plane, far away
and breakaway
Katniss tried new things. She visited every district and learn to fly airplanes. Even jumped out of a few. Nothing could put out the girl on fire.
Buildings with a hundred floors
swinging on revolving doors
maybe I don't know where they'll take me but
gotta keep moving on, moving on
fly away, breakaway
Katniss was no longer the emaciated, soaking wet girl from all those years ago. She was like a whole new person. She was brave and caring.
You just have to take the risk.
Ok... Well there you have it... Might go make one for 'Girl on Fire' by Alesha Keys.
Bye
