Day 22 – Wake Up, Children!

Wake up, children! It’s a brand new day
The troubles that you had are gone 
They are not in your heart, nor magnified
It is time for you to move on

You think that you feel pain now
But darling you are wrong
You are just too tired 
For the multicolored night is long

When you get out of bed
It will all become clear
That you are not broken vessels
For all of yesterday’s tears

So please please get out of bed 
Shake awake your worries and fears 
You are safe here with me
I will not hear your jeers

Your chests all move
There is no debt to pay
For all you do is sleep
And all I do is pray

I’ve known that you were dead 
Since I saw your skin was gray
But still I cry, wail and beg
Wake up, children! It’s a brand new day
