Chapter 11
Eli's Dream
Running through the woods
Run with me Oskar run fast like deer
I hold your hand we must hurry, hurry
I know you don't understand
but trust me don't stop
You are what I need
But not here in the dark woods,
not in the darkness
It must be there, I see it now I can hear it
Where the silver coldness comes down
Where darkness becomes light
That's where I must be with you,
where you could save me
We run towards its power and its beauty
and I'm there now with you
We are within it at last
Where all things are possible
Just us and nothing else
You look at me, you're scared but I say
Don't be, this is the Right Way
the Only Way, Oskar
Take my hands now for the Sun is coming
The Sun is rising it is almost here
The darkness is becoming light and I must see it
But you must say Yes or I will die
I am crying, crying
Please say Yes, Oskar, please
I see it now in your eyes
You understand what I need
for perfection with you
You smile and tell me that you love me
You tell me that you have always been mine to have
You give yourself to me but there is no pain
and I see the Sun, it has risen
But I will not die because
you are now in me and
I am the beautiful light with my Right One
Your love has saved me Oskar
Saved me from darkness
and made me into light
And I love you and
will love you forever
