Lady Rising

© 2017 Mark Cote

in this prefab world
real emotions seem to go unheard
so he packs them up for another day

smiling prefab smiles
no one even looks inside
they just walk away and mumble on

another point of view
cry in the light
they just look right through
but there's one girl who can read his nights
and she holds on and on and on.....

(chorus) lady
                  rising
                  with love like a sunny morning
                  warming
                  the empty of the night...
                  prefab people
                  can't reach me without emotion
                  vanish like shadows in the night....

keeping strong I won't let go
to emotions they never show
or be a blind collective thought
no one sees

when she smiles
when she laughs
he knows he's found his other half
and together they paint the world
with blue and red from grey

(chorus)
