I am from sleepless nights alone

From tales of sadness, sorrow and woe

I am from dreams of a sweet little girl

Wrapped in blankets an showered with pearls

I am from melodies both sung and unsaid

From thoughts that flutter around in my head

I am from night skies filled to the brim with stars

From mysteries of worlds both near and far

I am from dreams kept locked away

From venturing eyes that never meet my gaze

I am from conversations carried through the night

Carried on 'till morning light

I am borne in this brave new world

A little green bud on this family tree

I am broken but I know why

After all, we must break before we shine
