(Part 1: Singing with the Trees) (May’s voice, harmonizing with deep, soothing voices of the trees)
Verse 1 (May + Trees)
The leaves are singing, the world’s awake.
A dream that I’ve never known is mine to take.
The sky is brighter, and the air’s so clean, I’m dancing with the trees in a world unseen.
Verse 2 (May + Trees)
The branches sway, the winds align, In this new world, I’ve learned to shine.
With every step, with every breath, I find myself here, in the arms of life and death.
Chorus (May + Trees)
We are the dreamers, we are the light.
Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.
In this land so perfect, we’re alive tonight.
The trees will carry us, the winds will guide.
Through every storm, we’ll be by your side.
(Part 2: The Trees Leave—May’s Solo)
(The deep voices of the trees fade out, leaving May standing alone. The sound shifts from hopeful to haunting.)
The solo begins
Verse 3 (May, solo)
The trees are gone, their voices fade,
I stand alone in a world I’ve made.
The silence grows, it cuts so deep.
I thought I was awake, but I’m lost in sleep.
Verse 4 (May, solo)
I’m singing to the shadows, I’m calling for the light, but it’s slipping through my fingers, like sand in the night.
This world I thought was mine now feels so strange.
I don’t know who I am or if I’ll ever change.
Chorus (May, solo) I am alone, in a silent world, with every step, I feel myself unfurled.
I’m crying to the sky,
I’m lost in the sound, in a world that I thought would never let me down.
Bridge (May, solo)
Oh, I’m reaching, but there’s no hand to hold.
In this empty place, I feel so cold.
The leaves once whispered, now they’re gone.
And I’m left here singing this silent song.
Outro (May, solo)
I’m lost in this world.
I thought I’d find my grace, but all I have now is this empty space.
The trees are gone, the world’s gone still, and I’m standing here, but I can’t feel.
