So dark but brightening<br>
Designed with stars and moon<br>
Today we will sleep like loons
<p>THE SKY: Thanks dear, Saw you during the day<br>
Hauling distances with your drays<br>
Saw you thirsty, so I cried down tears<br>
Saw you burning, so I stopped the sun</p>
<p>STREET BOY: So caring of you<br>
Wish you could cry down manna<br>
Today, was no market day<br>
No Woman to do me charity<br>
Haunting across the backyards<br>
Brought no leftovers<br>
Tonight you sleep with an empty lover<!--more--></p>
<p>THE SKY: Sad!!<br>
But joyful because<br>
All these make you stronger<br>
And prepared for the elevation ahead<br>
A resident behind me, called God<br>
Has promised to change your destiny<br>
He said, grow up this way<br>
But you will die on top of the world</p>
<p>STREET BOY: Tears in my eyes<br>
Oh my dear <a class="zem_slink" title="Sky" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">sky</a>,<br>
Indeed beyond you is my limit<br>
God, heard about that man<br>
But only the clothed and elite meet him<br>
In that magnificent structure, church<br>
I was there last week Sunday<br>
The Ushers mistook me for a mad boy<br>
Perhaps because of my best outfit</p>
<p>THE SKY: You don’t need cloths<br>
You don’t need church<br>
You don’t need money<br>
In fact he is your secret friend<br>
He spoke with you yesterday<br>
And he is speaking to you now.<br>
Am his foot mat.<br>
He is right here with us.<br>
Tell him you love him, if you do</p>
<p>STREET BOY: Love you Mr. God<br>
Please if you are here, touch me<br>
I need no huge amount of money<br>
I need no elegant house<br>
I need no degrees in school<br>
I badly need love, parental love</p>
<p>THE SKY: God cries, I’m getting wet<br>
His tear drops are raining on me<br>
He also loves you<br>
He wants your future to be a miracle<br>
Moved from worst to best</p>
<p>STREET BOY cuts in:<br>
Why frowning with clouds?</p>
<p>THE SKY: God weeps so bad, I’m soaked<br>
I need to squeeze them on you<br>
No, no, no, don’t hide<br>
His tears are blessings<br>
It doesn’t wet you<br>
But soaks you with benedictions of tomorrow<br>
Tomorrow you will;<br>
Wake up employed<br>
Wake up in suit<br>
Wake up feeding the hungry<br>
Wake up singing “IT IS WELL”<br>
Wake up a role model<br>
Let’s sleep my dearie</p>
