Shilo...? Is your name Shilo?
Can I talk to you?
Can you come down, please?
So we can speak.
I saw you at the show,
I thought I'd seen a ghost,
Your resemblance is striking.
You have your mothers eyes, her hair,
I was told you died with her.
All these years have come and gone,
How do I put this?
I'm your (I'm your) Godmom.
State your business.
Business?
What do you want?
I want, I want to finally meet you,
Something real to cling to, leave you
With the hope that you will go to
All you're meant to, all I've failed to.
In you is a world of promise,
We have both been kept in bondage,
But you can learn from all my failures!
I'm not supposed to talk to strangers.
Or let them through the gate?
That either,
A big risk.
A big fence.
A mistake.
A new friend.
Chase the morning!
Yield for nothing!
Chase the morning!
Yield for nothing!
How'd you do that?
Do what?
That, that eye thing.
These eyes can do more than see.
I know, I mean, I've seen you sing.
Where?
From my window. I can see the world from there.
Name the stars and constellations,
Count the cars and watch the seasons.
I wish we could've watched together.
I can't have guests.
Never?
Ever!
If Dad found out that I'd been let out,
Or that you'd been let in...
I should go then, before I do promise me you won't-
Better that you don't.
Don't forget a sheltered rose needs (Just forget me,)
A little room to bloom (it's best if I resume my life)
Outside her bedroom! (Inside my bedroom...)
Chase the morning!
Yield for nothing!
Chase the morning!
Yield for nothing!
Let your life be your dream,
Integrity, honesty,
It's too late for me,
Don't look back till you're free to chase the morning!
Yield for nothing!
Chase the morning!
Yield for nothing!
Yield for nothing!
