You would not believe your eyes
If ten million winged kittens
Colored the sky as I fell asleep
Shadowfalcon stretched sleepily. It was morning, and she had woken up early. She recalled her dream. Her kits were in it, and grandkits, and their kits and grandkits, and so on. She wasn't young anymore. They had been flying around her, warning her that a time of sadness was coming. She didn't see how it could get much worse, because her kits had died long ago. She was the oldest cat in BirdClan now.
Cause they'll fill the dark night sky
And leave colors everywhere
She shook off memories and padded stiffly to Brisktail's den.
"How is it, Shadowfalcon?" the young shecat asked, busily sorting herbs out. "How's your leg feeling?"
"Fine, thank you," the dark elder replied. "But I had a dream. My kits and their kits and generations of kits flew around me, warning me of a time of sadness. I thought you might need to know." She paused to say more, but Crystalstar called the Clan to a meeting.
You'll think me odd
But I would just stand and stare!
"Eagletalon and Speckleshrub have found an unusual sight!" The clearish leader paused to gasp heavily as if in shock. "They have found a... a..." Crystalstar lost conciousness and tumbled of the Treelimb, paws over head and tail over ears.
I'd like to make myself believe
That the warriors world
Turns slowly!
"The river has stopped flowing!" Speckleshrub blurted. "It's gone!"
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
Cause everything is
Never as it seems!
Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand apprentices
As they try to teach me how to fight.
A pawprint above my head
A catflip beneath my bed
A disco ball is
Hanging by whiskers here!
I'd like to make myself believe
That the warriors world
Turns slowly!
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
Cause everything is never as it seems!
When I fall asleep!
Leave the stars on
By just a beam
Please leave me 'lone
To dream
Cause I feel so
Very happy here!
Please leave me 'lone
To dream
Why do I tire
Of counting prints?
Please leave me 'lone
To dream
When I'm far too
Tired to fall asleep?
To ten million
Winged kittens
I'm weird cause I hate goodbys
I got misty eyes
As they said farewell
But I know where
They all are
If my dreams get
Real bizzar
Cause I saved memories
And kept them in
My head!
I'd like to make myself believe
That the warriors world
Turns slowly!
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
Cause everything is
Never as it seems!
When I fall asleep!
I'd like to make myself believe
That the warriors world
Turns slowly!
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
Cause my dreams are
Bursting at the seams!
