38: Keep Awake

Keep awake, my son, keep yourself awake
You're going to have to keep your ears open
And your patience is going to be tested
You need to listen to what's being said
And what words were chosen

You'll need to keep awake, my brother
Hear those words that are not spoken
Make sense of them and keep them close
And keep the children safe

Keep awake, Emmanuel
You were chosen to focus on what we say
And what is going on around us


(inspired by my current WIP, 'The Children of Dun Corran')
