Child Of The Beast

Laney Jones

Compositor: Laney Jones

I have waited, oh, so long
For my father to come home
I have waited all alone
In this world I barely know

I was just a child of three
When my mother said to me
You must go into the woods
Stop the beast just as I should have

When I came into the woods
I found a land so beautiful
The leaves all sang as the rain came down
I felt at peace with the ground

Years I stayed getting strong
Waiting for the beast to come
The wise oak then revealed to me
That I'm the child of the beast
Like a dagger in my chest
Sewn red letter on my vest
How could I be the thing
Me, the child of the beast

There he stood axe in hand
Father beast was just a man
Who couldn’t see the beauty around
He couldn’t hear the rain singing down

Rise no more
Rise no more
No more
