[Blind Mag:]
Shilo?
Is your name [Shilo:]?
Can I talk to you?
Can you come down, please
So we can speak?
I saw you at the show
I thought I'd seen a ghost
Your resemblance is striking
You have your mother's eyes, her hair
I was told you died with her
All these years have come and gone
How do I put this?
I'm your (I'm your)…Godmom
[Shilo:]
State your business
[Blind Mag:]
Business?
[Shilo:]
What do you want?
[Blind Mag:]
I want, I want to finally meet you —
Something real to cling to, leave you
With the hope that you will go do
All you're meant to, all I failed to
In you is a world of promise
We have both been kept in bondage
But you can learn from all my failures
[Shilo:]
I'm not supposed to talk to strangers
[Blind Mag:]
Or let them through the gate?
[Shilo:]
That either
A big risk
[Blind Mag:]
A big fence
[Shilo:]
A mistake
[Blind Mag:]
A new friend
[Marni:]
Chase the morning
Yield for nothing
Chase the morning
Yield for nothing
[Shilo:]
How'd you do that?
[Blind Mag:]
Do what?
[Shilo:]
That! That eye thing
[Blind Mag:]
These eyes can do more than see
[Shilo:]
I know, I mean
I've seen you sing
[Blind Mag:]
Where?
[Shilo:]
From my window
I can see the world from there
Name the stars and constellations
Count the cars and watch the seasons
[Blind Mag:]
I wish we could have watched together
[Shilo:]
I can't have guests
[Blind Mag:]
Never?
[Shilo:]
Ever
If Dad found out that I'd been let out
Or that you'd been let in
[Blind Mag:]
I should go, then
Before I do, promise me you won't
[Shilo:]
It's better that you
[Mag:]
Don't
[Both:]
Forget me
[Blind Mag:]
A sheltered rose needs a little room to grow outside her bedroom
[Shilo:] (overlapping)
Best if I resume
My life inside my bedroom
[Marni:]
Chase the morning
Yeild for nothing
Chase the morning
Yeild for nothing
[Blind Mag:]
Let your life be your dream
Integrity, honesty,
It's too late for me
Don't look back till you're free to
Chase the morning
[Marni:]
Yield for nothing
Chase the morning
Yield for nothing
Yield for nothing
