Stars were bright one summer's night
When a child was born in candlelight.
And mother's eyes gentle and wise

Full of tears watched her dear.

Listen my dove she whispered with love

Please always stay with me.

The child she grew too fast as autumn and winter passed.

She ran through field and forest
and danced in the rain with eyes alight
She sang into the trees

spun through the mist as day turned into night.

Daughter my dear said mother with fear

Why do you run to the trees?
The world is cruel full of ghosts and ghouls
so stay here safe with me.


Mother I'm not like you
I have to run through the blue.

The forest's dark calls to me
I know what I feel is true.
Something out there waits for me

I feel it when my heart tries to break free.

And so on her sixteenth birthday

The girl looked into the black of the night
Her chest filled with longing
and she cried out to the darkness

Take me home!

Mother rushed through the door

Still to this day dreaming away
stumbling and blinded by tears
The mother waits for her child.

She fell onto the floor
reached out as the night brought forth her fears
Eyes burning brightly

A wish to the stars to heal her scars
The Changeling fled into the woods
And bring her treasure home.

she disappeared.
