[Intro]
BShe went off to the C#mcity
To Efind what she was looking Bfor
BTo identify, to C#mreally try
To Efind herself some Bhope
BWith the summer sun for C#mlaughing
And the winter rain did Epour
She was Blovelier from C#mlearning
And from Eliving, loving Bmore
BFrom her dancing love and C#myoung soul
And the Egypsies in her Bdream
To the Bpulse of stark acceptC#mance
When the Ewinds began to fBreeze
With no curfews left to C#mhold her
And noC#m walls to shield her Epain
Finding Bout that facts were C#molder
And that Elife forms are iBnsane.
BThe presence of C#mprotection seemed
To Efade, as did her Bdoubt
That she now was no C#mexception
Nor was the Elove who pushed her Bout
Though the streets cried out,
Go, homC#mesick
Virtues sC#mtrength of mind would rEing
In the Bmaladies of C#mmeaning
The sad Esong she learned to sBing.
BNow, her teachers and C#mphilosophers
And the Epoet's silver tBhroat
Are the vessels which on C#mwisdom's karmic Eocean she will Bfloat.
Was this her revoC#mlution,
Just a child in love's Ecrusade,
With the Bquestion in her innoceC#mnce
Through the Elies her eyes betrBayed?
