I've been at the bottom
Of this rusty chain
Many times before
Im up a step
Without a thought
You fell to me
And I flew from her
A sliver of a second
It grew beyond belief
To where I could not see
And I knew it all
So I sat and pondered
What to do this time
And I could only think
Of a child's rhyme
And to see me through the night
I must've fallen out of sight
To be so damn safe
And so damn care-free
This rhyme guided my feet
And held my brain
It kept me safe and cool
Kept me from the man
Who sought to take me away
Away to the light
From the darkness in which I reside
And sleep and dream
Of all them and more
And wake and scream
To all them and more
A shrine of the light
I fall to me knees
All too late to see
Where I went wrong
So long ago
And to make it right
I must feel that pain
Of which I caused
And make the decision
I forced upon another
And think of death
And life and in between
I know one day
One day I'll be king, again
Yet what remains to be seen,
Is who will be my queen?
