*Through Michael's perspective*


We have found their tracks again

But they're not answering the calls from my brain

Are they asleep or are they died

I can't hear them in my head

I need to warn them to protect that gem

I knew she was a special somehow

I thought, as sweat dripped down my brow

Petra is different from us

I've known that from the start and deep in my heart

That she was different than us

And now we need to protect her from her father

Who didn't seem to bother... until now

I need to know that they're okay before we start a new day
