The Dance of the Flowers

I’m tired of this underpaid life, Chasing dreams I can’t ignite. A job that keeps me locked in place, Caught in a loop I can’t erase. Head down, I’m just clockin’ in, Same old story, it never begins. Dreamin’ of freedom, a life far away, But I’m chained to the ground , day after day. In this room, I’m losing my fire, No spark left to take me higher. Minimum wage—it’s all I know, Tired of crawling, moving too slow. I see the stars with their easy rise, But I’m stuck here, chasing the skies. Caught in a loop, just spinning 'round, Fighting for a life I haven’t found. No motivation to keep me alive, I’m waiting for a reason to survive. How do I move when I’m out of gas? Why does greed keep holding me back? Why can’t we all just live in peace? I’m not asking much—just the basic needs. Every day’s the same old way, Running in circles, I’m losing my say. Scrolling through pages, it’s hard to see, Why some have it all and there’s none for me. It’s just a race to see who can take, Instead of a way to see who can save. I want a purpose, not to be a slave, Let me live my life, let me pave my way. I’m stuck here, moving at my slow speed, While the world keeps running on greed. Giving my all to those who don’t need, Why can’t you be you, and I’ll be me? But I guess the truth is plain to see, You take more—there’s no harmony. I see the stars with their easy rise, But I’m stuck here, chasing the skies. Caught in a loop, just spinning 'round, Fighting for a life I haven’t found. No motivation to keep me alive, I’m waiting for a reason to survive. Trapped and tired, I need escape, Somewhere with a livable wage. I see success on every page, Small dreamers rising, living their stage. What’s the secret? I want to learn, The key to a life that I can earn. Where do I start? Where do I go? I’m burnt out, but I still know— It’s just a race to see who can take, Instead of a way to see who can save. I want a purpose, not to be a slave, Let me live my life, let me pave my way. What should I do? I’m done with dreaming, Sick of watching while others are scheming. It’s time to break free, time to rise, To find my rhythm and reclaim the skies. Let me have purpose, not just survive, I want to live, not just stay alive.

[Verse] It's close to midnight shadows start to creep Beneath the moon a chill runs way too deep A twisted figure hides behind the trees You feel the terror tighten every breeze [Verse 2] Your breath it hitches heart beats out of line A ghastly whisper sends a frozen sign You turn to run but feet they won't obey Lost in the night your fears won't go away [Chorus] Midnight horror you can't deny Eyes wide open but can't see why Shadow puppet plays its ghastly part Feel the twist and scream with all your heart [Bridge] In the air a wailing distant cry Silent screams no tears left to dry Face the night where monsters love to dwell Paralyzed in their cursed haunting spell [Verse 3] Cobwebs tangle twist around your mind Every corner darkness tries to find Haunted echoes dance inside your ear Whispered secrets only you can hear [Chorus] Midnight horror you can't deny Eyes wide open but can't see why Shadow puppet plays its ghastly part Feel the twist and scream with all your heart

[Verse] Ten years gone by in just a blink We've built a world on hope and ink Stories written hearts entwined A decade strong our spirits shined [Verse 2] We've danced through nights shed tears of joy Past the worries past the ploys Gathered here as one big crew Together we always knew [Chorus] Raise your glasses toast the past Moments fleeting but they last Through the ups and all the bends Here's to you my lifelong friends [Verse 3] Candles lit for dreams we've chased Moments magical we embraced From dawn to dusk we stood tall St Mary’s echoes through it all [Bridge] In the halls where laughter roared In each kind word we stored Memories built on trust and care Love and life beyond compare [Chorus] Raise your glasses toast the past Moments fleeting but they last Through the ups and all the bends Here's to you my lifelong friends

[Verse] Ten years ago we lit the flame Built our dreams and staked the claim Laughter echoed in the halls Now we stand so proud and tall [Verse 2] Brick by brick we raised the walls Friendships grew from simple calls Memories folded in our hearts A journey marked by countless starts [Chorus] Oh St Mary's we sing for you A decade strong and hearts so true Here's to years that lie ahead In your embrace we're always led [Verse 3] Through the highs and through the lows St Mary's love it always shows Guiding light when times are gray In your shadow we shall stay [Verse 4] From the classrooms to the field Every lesson's a shield Marching forward hand in hand Together we will proudly stand [Chorus] Oh St Mary's we sing for you A decade strong and hearts so true Here's to years that lie ahead In your embrace we're always led
