In a world not so far away
Lived an boy who liked to play
But poor Dan never got his way
His parents were always busy
So he had no place to stay.
He had no family to take him in
He had no friends, or a twin
Life was hard for little Dan
He wasn’t what you’d call a people's man
Everyone thought that he liked to stay alone
While in reality he just wanted someone he could take home.
To everyone he was mean,
In school he would always make a scene.
All the kids would stay away,
They were scared that he would wreck their day.
So Dan made up a friend
Her name was Yuki to who he could tend.
Life started to turn around,
Everything wasn’t so upside down.
Now Yuki and him would play and play
They never had such thing as a bad day.
They’d go to the zoo
And see the pretty blue.
They always had something to do.
They made their own little crew.
And all the kids didn’t have a clue.
There was always a smile on his face
Sadness had left without a trace.
He’d roam the world with his new best friend
But this is far from the end.
He grew and grew but couldn’t stop
Now he would reach the top.
All the kids stop running away
They actually all had a very good day.
They saw his smiles and saw his cheers.
And now everything was so clear.
People stop seeing his tears
And his loneliness just disappeared.
He now had friends with who he played.
Life had turned a brighter way.
But to his surprise he forgot his friend
The one that promised will stay with him till the end
With his glee she vanished off
And left within the narrow trough
Dan knew what he had to do
He knew, he knew.
He called upon her and she came
To him quick she showed no shame
He smiled when he saw her delicate face
He was as happy as being in outer space
He hugged her quick and held her tight
He tried to hold on with all his might
He'd missed his friend so utterly much
And couldn’t believe she was here to touch
He bent down to look her in the eyes
And realise the huge difference in size
Her eyes glittered with a beautiful gleam
She knew that someday this would happen to them
"Everything will be alright,
You should forget how we were tight"
"the sun cant forget about its light"
He replied with quite a fright.
"Don't be scared, it's time to move on
We have had our fun and games
It's time for you to do what's right
It's time for you to light the night.
" But where would you go and what would you do?
I cant imagine a life without you.
You took me in when I needed you most
You helped me defeat all those dreaded ghosts
You were with me through every step
How could I leave and just forget?"
"Don't worry I'll be alright
I can fight my own fights.
But now it's time to grow up and change
Things will never stay the same.
You've made new friends on which you can rely.
At first things might seem really strange,
But we know we all have to change someday.
Why not now when you have all these friends
People that won't hesitate to lend a hand
Time is always running away
We have to catch up
We can't make it stay.
Growing up is not something to fear
Without it we would all disappear
It makes us strong and makes us brave
It made us who we are today.
Life is a ride we all willingly take
To follow our dreams
To release the unawake.
To grow and prosper is something we all must do
Unluckily I might not be with you.
Don't worry, don’t pout friends will come and go,
But they'll never be forgotten
I think that's something you already know.
Be loyal to your friends, cause they always help you grow.
Now is the time to take those first steps,
To admit change with no regrets."
"i will miss you, but i know you'll be near
Life right now is my only fear
But I'll overcome it with a smear
But today's the day that I almost won
If only you didn’t have to run."
He walked away with all his pride
His courage, his love and left nothing behind
Yuki stood there in all despair
Today would be her worst day
She shed the last tear she would ever have
For when a kid grows his past dies
And Yuki was no compromise.
She knew she would parish
But she did it for her friend
He was the one that was important in the end
Life is all about sacrifice you'll grow up and see
It's as random as the roll of a dice.
Dan grew and forgot about rhyme
He forgot about Yuki
Forgot those crooked times.
Someday you to will have to grow
Have to fight and have to know.
Have to always tell the truth
Have to always do the best you could do.
So you see dear children time has changed
Everything will rearrange
But don’t be afraid for life will move on,
We are all just part of some big song.
