9. Act of Faythe (5:00)
Ext. Ravenskill Town Square - Day.
Faythe:
I never knew they spent their days in rags,
while I enjoy the life they'll never have.
Yet deep within their eyes hope still survives,
and they don't seem to think this world's so bad.
Even as they gather in the square,
they know a better life exists out there.
With unity and pride, faith stays alive.
How can I pretend that I don't care?
I have always felt alone.
Living like a stranger inside of my own home.
Maybe now's the time to greet the winds of change.
Could my destiny be right in front of me?
As a child behind the palace walls,
often times I'd search its secret halls.
And hope that I would find a treasure cast aside.
I came upon the greatest gift of all.
My music player, my private paradise.
My music player, a refuge I must hide.
Been lost at sea forever, adrifted far away.
Now finally for the first time I know I've found my way.
Found my way!
