Make Believe

Scared and red-haired little girl Who is stuck inside a world She made herself so she can Play amongst the dead She imagines many things Helps a prince become a king And though she's ruling by his Side it's in her head And she knows that she is far too old to know Of love and reality, she'll never say it's so How could I ever be free When my mind gets the best of me Brave and red-haired little boy Builds his kingdom with his toys Stoic soldiers never Dream of a retreat Mother tells hip to grow up He's too old for all this stuff He stares her straight and says But it's all real to me And he knows that she will never understand He is protecting her, he's doing all he can Mother where do you run to When your mind has the best of you Scared and red-haired little girl Fights to give her life a whirl But in this moment she is Trapped inside her dreams Brave and valiant little boy With the troops that he's employed Storms in ready to Set the captive free And he knows that it is just another night But he's sure that she'll still put up a fight Mother oh what can we do When your mind has the best of you Fakes a nightmare while she sleeps Wakes her promptly and then weeps Oh mother please Will you pray with me Both have kingdoms you can see Both are far from make believe Both are fighting for a Chance to set her free
