Unfinished Song

(Verse 1)
Hello your majesty
May I request an audience?
It really is a tragedy
That you have yet to make an appearance
It’s been quite a while now
Since you last saw us peasants
I guess you made a vow
To forget all of your commitments

(Chorus)
Happiness – it’s a gift
But we are all anything but kind
Acting like we are on a boat adrift
The separation is only in your mind
Why push away those who care?
Talking like you know everything
Using big words doesn’t make you debonair
Standing tall as if you were a king

(Verse 2)
Are you happy being so far away
Royalty, alone in your palace
You’ve built a maze to keep us at bay
A labyrinth worthy of Daedalus
Deadly sharks circle in the water
And soldiers stand in our way
Would it really be too much of a hassle
To give us the time of day?

(Chorus)
Happiness – it’s a gift
But we are all anything but kind
Acting like we are on a boat adrift
The separation is only in your mind
Why push away those who care?
Talking like you know everything
Using big words doesn’t make you debonair
Standing tall as if you were a king
