Snow in the Desert によって Contestant Number 1
The girl sat cross-legged
Among The swirling sand
Thinking of winters
And a thing called snow
Covering The ground in a pure white blanket
Eyes closed she reached out
Half expecting to feel a numbing cold
But was scorched によって the sand
She opened her eyes
Letting in the glare of the midday sun
And resumed weaving a basket
For those in the west
Who would never know her name
With her sore, raw hands
Under the burning sun
But her mind stayed in winter
Always in Winter
One Of Them によって Contestant Number 2
Beating hands
and floating tears,
Summed up によって a thousand fears.
Say what あなた want,
but we aren’t free,
and we dream that one 日 we can flee.
They are laughing
while we are crying,
and our little world is slowly dying.
Every day
and every night,
promise me that あなた won’t fight.
Do あなた Know This Face によって Contestant Number 3
I just need one moment, can あなた spare it?
She’s been missing for six weeks.
Please, just tell me, I can’t bare it,
are あなた familiar with these cheeks?
these eyes? this mouth? this nose? this face—
あなた say you’ve seen this weathered child
in some black and rancid place?
in dreams? in songs? in cities wild?
She is your daughter, claimed によって the streets?
Your mother, ロスト to the viral lesion?
Your sister, raped in bloody sheets?
Your lover, beaten for false treason?
あなた tell me that あなた know this face,
and that you’ve seen her everywhere.
Do あなた know the human race?
The race that’s won によって those who wear
the weaker ones into the ground
and によって the grace of their despair
the lucky ones are never found.
They evaporate into the air.
Between these dissonant rhyming cords
do あなた see the face of a メリダとおそろしの森 girl?
And do あなた hear the roaring hoards
rising up against the violent world
and screaming loud, with one accord
that they will not take it.
Not anymore.
He Cheats And She Feels It によって Contestant Number 4
あなた used to be all she talked about,
now your all she cries about.
あなた used to be the one,
until あなた got lost
With your charming, cheating fun.
She would get anxious when あなた came around,
Now she can't even look at you.
She was so strong,
until あなた broke her down.
Your self-pity
Your unawareness of her feelings
Your carelessness
Your cluelessness
Your anger
Your cheating
The animal you've become
Has hurt her
Has damaged her
Has broken her
Has shut her down
Has killed her.
She's holding on によって a string
She's still strong enough
To walk strong against the anguish rain.
The rain is the hurt
Its the tears
Its the stress and the pain
The scars and wounds
The sickness and the cold
That あなた showered upon her.
That あなた put her through.
That あなた made her suffer through,
because of your selfish pity.
Have あなた recovered from your blindness now?
Libertas によって Contestant Number 5
What would あなた do if あなた were free?
If あなた were free, who would あなた be?
Now, tell me friend, where would あなた go,
And everyone you'd like to know?
If only あなた were free?
If I were free I would do,
Everything I wanted to.
I'd take long walks along the beach,
または lie in ベッド with all in reach.
If I were free, that's what I would do!
If I were free, I would be;
Me and only me!
How else would I live my life?
As anyway else would give me strife.
If I were free, that's who I'd be!
If I were free, I would go,
The furthest that anyone can know!
America, Spain, Timbuktu,
I'd even go to Australia Zoo.
If I were free, that's where I'd go!
If I were free, I'd like to know,
Everyone I do not know!
I'd 愛 the good, but the bad
They drive me crazy, make me mad.
If I were free, that's who I'd like to know!
As I am free I wish I can,
Free every woman, every man!
For every girl and every boy
I'd give them every single toy.
And let everyone do whatever they can!
