beyond

song title: beyond
written by lucy gray baird
about her aspirations before the hunger games
and searching to seek and find true life

verse 1:
where the water is cold as a sheet of glass
where the heat of the sun brightens the morn
you'll see the young ones running free
you'll see us roaming by the trees

verse 2:
the covey has lived this way forever
even though we will never be settlers
we live where we please to sing to the need
while men dance around to the thrum and beat

chorus:
let's be free and go beyond what is known
let's show the others what we've always known
there is something greater beyond what we see
it's all there to feed our everlasting dreams

verse 3:
you'll find the performers around all the time
just trying to make some whole grimy dimes
don't do what we do for those bucks and bills
the sound of the melody always makes us feel

verse 4:
perhaps it's time to say goodbye finally
though there really is no choice it seems
you'll wonder where we've flown to desperately
oh, but darling, we're just following dreams

chorus:
let's be free and go beyond what is known
let's show the others what we've always known
there is something greater beyond what we see
it's all there to feed our everlasting dreams

bridge:
everything is not what it seems
i have learned everyone has been lying to me
everything is not what it seems
we were free once with no fear of screams
everything is not what it seems
there's always more to the story, you'll see

chorus- changed some for outro:
there is something greater beyond what we see
it's all there to feed our everlasting dreams
let's fly away and find what we seek
this might be the last time you hear from me
