[Wendy:] Hi      Trader      Trader sailed a jeweled crown   Humanity rowed the way   Exploring to command more land   Scheming how to rule the waves.   Trader spied a virgin plain    And named it for velvet robes   Wrote home declaring,   "There's a place   Where totally folks are free   (Happily completely)   Nourishment fills the prairies and the hillsides   And animals stalk the mountains and the seaside   And fish abound the lakes and birds the skies   Signed sincerely."      Trader found the jeweled land   Was occupied before he came   By humans of a second look   Who couldn't even write their names shame   Trader said they're not as good   As folks who wear velvet robes   Wrote home again and asked, "Please help    Their breasts I see; they're not like me   Banish them from our prairies and our hillsides   Clear them from our mountains and our seaside   I want them off our lakes so please reply   Signed sincerely."      Trader he got the crown okay   Cleared humanity from his way   He civilized all he saw   Making changes every single day say   Shops sprang over the prairies and the hillsides   Then roads cut through the mountains to the seaside   The other kind fled to hide, by and by,   And so sincerely    Cried.      Making it softly   Like the evening sea, trying to be   Making it go   Creating it gently   Like a morning breeze, a life of ease   Eyes that see    Beyond tomorrow, through to the time without hours   Passing the Eden of Flowers   Reason to live.      Embracing together   Like the merging streams, crying dreams   Making it full   Begging intently   For a slight reprieve, a night of ease   Hands to touch   Beyond the sorrow, on to the force without power   Piercing the crust of the tower   Reason to live.      Hoping   Like a budding rose, humbling shows   Making it.   Struggling lonely   Like a desert field, break the seal, make it real   Ears to hear   Beyond the showers, on to the suns of tomorrows   Burning the flesh of all sorrows   Reason to live.   Reason to continue   Reason to go on   Reason to live   Reason to live   Reason to live
