-YOU WILL BE THE LIGHT-

You will be the light
when the world isn't right
in my dark stormy night
the hands that take my pain away.

-MY PLEDGE-

It's time to make a change for the better
Let the winds take you where you want to land
and if their strength gets too overwhelming
just reach out and i'll help you stand.

The road to happiness is long and hard
and sometimes the pain's too hard to take
and though you keep trying to get free from this pain
there's too much to lose, too much at stake.

The path may be paved with fire and things that sting
but you can't let yourself give up the fight
and when your legs and head get heavy
i'll carry you through the darkest night.

I may not be the biggest strength
but know my hand is yours to hold
don't think you always have to be bold.

know my love for you is for all time
just let me know,
and i'm yours to hold.

-KING OF PAIN-

He had his throne
He had his power
and a smile slowly crept across his lips.

He brought the ladies before his court
before he sacrificed them to the dragon.
Usually young
usually naive
trusting him to protect them forever.

Whispered words
that come in threes
were breathed into their ears from his lips
and gentle fingers brushed their shoulders;
stroked their hair and cheeks.

He took them under his wing
fulfilled his desires
then sent them away to play with the dream king.

Sometimes he couldn't control his anger.
So sometimes he didn't quite treat his maidens as he should.

Some of them escaped.
With only bruises and scars to show his reign of fear.
And though his power gave him pleasure
it gave him no popularity.

"King over what?" they said, "Apart from the innocence of young girls?"

Young himself...
yet strong and selfish.
He'll learn..
he'll learn.

Or he'll get killed.

Either way...
i escaped.

-KATIE-

Only God knows what's in store for you.
and he prides himself on the fact that he has made
people who care and love, like you so try to do.
You've gotta wake up
shape up
try to understand..
life works out for the best.
And your life will, too.
No-one ever told you it would be easy
yet no-one ever told it'd be this hard, either.

Look at the world around you, Katie.
Look at the people who think you're special.
Look at the amazing gifts you've been given.

They'll take you to God's castle
and they'll show you the two books of your good and bad deeds;
scribbled by the highest of all angels.
Stand before them. Then look down, Katie.
See what has to be done...

See who has to be forgiven,
who you need to love more
and who you need to trust.

You.
