MORE THAN JUST A FEW

More than just a few have left the colony
Though their names have been removed
There were more than just a few
More than just a few have filled the vacancy
Their names are on the door, they never ask for more

How I wish that it were true that all dreams could come true
But the colony will not follow me
No, the colony will not follow me
How I wish that it were true that the old could be made new
But the colony will not follow me

When I left the nest I was tired of second-best
I yearned for something new, I burned for something true
Beyond what came before, beyond what I once knew
Beyond what they could teach, beyond what I could reach

The friends I made out there said I could make it anywhere
Why fight them to be heard? Why mock a mockingbird?
But something drove me home, once in the money comb
I learned once more to doubt what never can come out

Should you like me return, the lesson you will learn
It’s better in the queue where no one can see you
But when everything is hidden, they still dream what is forbidden
The broken-hearted sing the dreams that dreamers dream

A Song Can Tell A Story

When words leave off, music begins.
