" there  are  moments that the words don't reach there is suffering to terrible to name

You hold your child as tight as you can

and push away the unimaginable

The moments when your in so deep It feels easier to just swim down

the Hamiltons move Uptown

And learn to live with the  unimaginable

I spend hours in the garden

I walk alone to the store

And it's quite uptown

I never liked the quite before

I take the children to the park on Sunday ( they don't have religion)

a place where we can be free and careless

and I play

that never used to happen before

if you see him in the street

walking by himself

talking to himself

have pity

Diana you would like it uptown (her lullaby)

it's quiet  uptown

he is working through the unimaginable

can you imagine ( I don't have time to write  the whole  song the song is it's quiet uptown from Hamilton just bits and peices)

if you see him in the street

walking by her side talking by her side

have pity

he is trying to do the unimaginable

see them walking in the park

long after dark

taking in the sights of the city

they are trying to do the unimaginable

there are moments when the words don't reach

there is a grace to powerful to name

we push away what we can never understand

we push away the unimaginable

It's quiet uptown  

forgiveness

can you imagine

forgiveness

can you imagine

They are going through the unimaginable"

By the time Madeline was finished singing her little sister was sleeping sound. The song was from a play before the silvers took over. She can't save her sister from the guard or war. She is leaving tonight she can't protect Diana in life, she will do it in death. Madeline was getting nervous. Their parents were out late they won't be back until at least one. She had time. Madeline get her thing ready. Her golden choker left on her sister's  night stand along with a letter to guide her. To her parents who hated Madeline. Well, her father did. she wrote Look a me now are you proud of your precious child!  in big angry letters.  she went to say good bye to her sister in their room; the moon was shining on her head making golden hair glimmer. So peaceful and helpless. Madeline kissed her forehead. From her parent's room she stood up on the chair and looked out at the moon repeating just don't  think It will all be over soon. The chair fell as she took the breath that was her last. The sound startled Diana. She woke up thinking that a storm was brewing outside; at the time she was scarred of thunder storms. she look across the room Diana shared with her sister to see a perfectly made bed. Diana went to look for Maddie. she checks the whole house the had the last room. She opened the door  and fell down too the floor nothing can take back what she just saw the person who raised her was just hanging there; her body's pale and her face is violently bare. Diana knelled their sobbing for hours non- stop. Her mother and father come home. Hearing her daughter's sobbing and ran to see what was wrong they come into to see their eldest daughter on the floor crying  so hard that her shirt was drenched and puddles have formed her mother went and a picked up Diana and took her and set her down on her bed and sang to her sobs subside. her mother leaves to asses this problem.  When she leaves Diana sits up. and puts on the chocker and reads the letter the first part is in the song but has sis instead of mum. the second part says
