Lying in the tree limb at night,
I stare up at the sky,
Tonight I see a bright flashing light,
Could it be, I thought,
I shut my eyes and dream a dream,
So wonderful but despairing,
Knowing that somewhere someone is doing the same,
Wishing and hoping for a better life,
How I wish I could extend my hand and grasp them,
And tell them that everything is going to be alright.
