Diane Zeigler - The Hiding Place

Sarah has a hiding place
in the farthest corner of the town
And no one will see the path she takes
She won't be found
Waiting up in her room
Careful not to move too soon
She will leave them all
Who thought they knew her well
But you can never tell

She will run for cover
While they are deep in their slumber
And looking back over the land of the living
She will stay alive and breathing
In hidingIn the branches of a sycamore tree
That reach as high as she can climb
She built a fortress among the leaves
To keep her safe behind
And with a sword she'll be standing tall
The dragons she will slay them all
And no hands will touch her or try to hold her down
She will not be found

Every morning when the school bells chime
Sarah takes her place in line
And at her desk under the window sill
She will begin her climb
And soon she'll be in that tree
Lost in her fantasy
And that dreaming will save her
From unspeakable things
That any night can bring
