A Wish for Elias and Anita by Laura (with Emily)

Curious by BNLN at the Children's Storefront Spring 2025 (with Patrick and Diana)

When there's Darkness all around and I can't hear a sound 
thought I lost my light - but instead I found - I was buried underground
I found myself Enchanted because I've been planted
I was put here to rise - reach for the light

So I push Towards the Sky - Lift My Face - open space - that feels right 
and it takes all my might - but I might find my grace through the struggle and embrace 
This Heart of Mine

Through the darkness I stretched through the pain
building resilience as I Rise past the shame 
I see the darkness as a catalyst for change - 
I came here to rise and reclaim my name

So as my shell breaks open and my roots spring forth - 
and I dig them down seeking food from the earth - 
and I thought I was dying but it's just rebirth - 
and I came here to claim back my own self-worth

It's Time We rise up - it's time we rise up 
we're moving back towards the light - back towards the light

I know that sometimes the pain is too much to bear - but when I wear - my heart on my sleeve - 
sometimes people going to take advantage of me but I didn't come here to play the victim - I'm just learning how to set healthy boundaries - and so I Fall to my knees - asking God to show me - the deeper lesson in what I'm supposed to see 
so this seed  Sprouts up - stronger than ever before - cause I know I came here for so much more

From my roots to my branches - polarity unites
and I'm showing up for me - internal insight 
how far down I went is how high I will rise
so I breathe in the dark until I reach the light

It's time we rise up - it's time we rise up
we moving back towards the light - back towards the light

Lyrics :
She's only 15 
Packin' up and headin' out lookin' for her dream
She's far in between
Where the rain and sunshine meet

Oh she comes and goes away
Leaving her bags on the train
Trying to find her way

She left her disguise 
On the way to the city
No one knows her name
But the bus driver thinks she's really pretty
He knows the shadow that haunts her
She's only 15

Oh they come and go away
Leaving their bags on the train
Trying to find their way

She found everything
Not quite the perfect picture 
Not quite what she needs
Faith had to fight her
Until she had to clearly see
She's no longer 15

Oh she comes and goes away 
Leaving her bags on the train
Trying to find her way

Fifteen

Here’s a little song inspired by a quiet, mysterious night in Monterrey. It’s about crossing paths with someone who leaves a mark on you, even if you only share a few unspoken moments. Soft, dreamy, and a bit romantic — just the way those unexpected encounters feel. Hope you enjoy this one.
