a silent night.

It's the time of the year when no-one's alone.
The children are laughing,
gathered around the christmas tree -
we're all at home.

It's the time for happiness, laughter, joy.
A table filled with food,
the scent of wine in the air -
"Everybody, enjoy!"

But there's no-one there:
I sit by myself
watching the snow fall
behind the frosted window.

My fingers glide
over the cold ivory
and ebony keys
of the grand piano.

There's no click of the door,
no seasons greetings
shouted across the street.

It's only us here.
The wine spill on the mat and
this masked musician
playing a masterpiece.

Alone.

Today is the start of a different time,
&That no past belongs to, and no future tries
&&As it has no chance, the bells will not chime
&&&To bid it farewell, to say their goodbyes
This mindset will turn the tables tonight;
&I am ready to change, so to thee I vow
&&To believe in myself, to make this right
&I've had too many falls, it is my time now
We'll tour the whole world, we'll see the great sights,
&We'll eat the best foods and drink the soft wines
&I'll manage the tight spaces, handle the heights,
&&Be there when we rise, stay for the declines
For I am yours, and to no other I swear:
I'll be your flame, your water, your air

Don't be ashamed to be proud.
You have all the rights to be that.
You have conquered the world.

So smile.
Keep your head high and have fun.
Take every step as if you never took one before;
be brave and willing to see more.

No need for worries.
You know you're on top, and you're not going down.
You're the queen of the goddamn world.
Even if it's just for a moment.
