Serafina

Serafina stares at the stars
 And says her prayers
 In awe of what she sees
 I could never see the things she sees
 And she's always far away
 In some other place
 She likes to make believe
 I can't stand to see her in such pain
 Even when the world is pushing down
 She stands so tall she can almost touch the clouds
 Serafina's slipping away
 And it's all okay
 She knows she's got faith to guide her way
 Serafina's gone to sleep
 And I don't know what to say
 I try to speak but it's already much too late
 And she knows she's lost it all
 But you can't tell
 She loves every day
 I can't see the use in living that way
 And she says I've gone astray
 She prays for me
 She says that she believes
 I don't need to believe the things she believes
 I will never sleep again
 I will never dream again
