I looked upon the stars and saw

That night and knew

Arcturus was displayed above

My star placed the day I bloom

The day couldn't come too soon

My mother's back was broken

My father complained the rain

Would leave another monsoon

Our village was in deep

My sister's couldn't sleep

Grandpa knew a pain

My brothers would repeat

The celestial clock was here

I must go alone

To take our boat and commandeer

Away from home

The lake had led to the stairs

Three hundred steps less

Three hundred thousand disrepaired

I set

The mountain was as still

As ever

As I paced my way

In September

The rain would have me

Washed away

And my knees

Would have me stay

I pressed on

I don't know what day it was

It was always so dark

When id thought I'd had enough

The clouds came to part

"Hello my friend"

I hear from the wind

"Stop where you stand

And start listening

I am no genie at all

But your wish will come true

Your body's washed away

Into the monsoon

If I could

I'd give you twenty

For the wishless many

You've left too soon

Arcturus is yours

Go and have your claim"
