More than it seems
Is my imagination running away or is
All
this really happening to me
Am I a Prince in a far away land
filled with fantasy?
Where is reality and what are the actions
that will define who I am?
I am holding onto the visions I've
seen of what I could be
It's what I should be
Peter Pevensie sat down at his desk, deep in thought. He couldn't help but compare who he had been in Narnia with who he was in England. He was having trouble getting used to being a kid again. It was hard because he had been an adult in Narnia for a long time, much longer than he had been a child. He was also trying to figure out what virtues he had brought back with him. He had tried to talk about it with Edmund, but the words had stuck in his throat. It didn't seem fair to burden Edmund with his brother's problems, when Edmund had problems of his own.
More than it seems these dreams aside
Blur reality's
line
If I could believe that dreams aside
I am capable of
more than it seems
It seemed to Peter that his reality was becoming blurred. It was hard to distinguish between the day to day life of England and the day to day life of Narnia. It was hard to keep his thoughts on who he was in England because they were persistant on their perusal of Narnia. He was becoming dreamy and his mother had said once in exasperation. "Are you actually in the same world as I am?" That question had shocked Peter. He hadn't meant to act like he was in another world, it was just easier to think about Narnia than it was to think about England.
It meant alot to Peter to know that he wasn't the only one having trouble getting used to life in England after life in Narnia. Susan was still gentle, but seemed hard to please. Anything anyone did for her was met by a polite smile, and that was that. Peter knew she was comparing those deeds to the deeds of her suitors. Edmund was finding it hard to come to terms with the fact that nobody was coming to him for advice. And Lucy was finding it hard to remember that she had to act like a child, not a queen or an adult. Peter knew that no matter how hard his troubles seemed to him, his sibling's troubles seemed just as hard to them.
Passing through darkness into my own
world will I
Be more than when I left?
Never letting go of
the lessons I learned
This will make a change
A change within
me
Peter knew that he would never forget the lessons he had learnt in Narnia, no matter how much he may wish he might. He smiled, remembering certain lessons that he hadn't wanted to learn, but he knew that they would be invaluable to his life in England, especially at school. He knew that it would seem to people that he had changed, and that was something he knew he had definetely done.
This
time I won't run away
I've found the strength to face life's long
days
This time I won't run away
Peter knew that life as a king in Narnia had helped him find the strength to face life's long days. The training he had had in Narnia would stand by him in England. That was something he knew he would be eternally grateful to Aslan for.
More than it seems these dreams inside
Blur
reality's line
If I could believe that dreams aside
I am
capable of more that it seems
Peter smiled, knowing that he and his siblings were capable of more than it seemed. Narnia had helped them with that.
