Will there be a happy ending
this time? Will we win
because good always does?
If we can’t hear you,
we can’t see you—
maybe you’re not real.
Can you help us? Will you
hurt us? Tell us how you feel.
Our hats have always been
the whitest, spurs have always
been the brightest, but
you’re their dark horse and
they fight us everywhere
we turn. So tell us,
will there be a happy ending,
or is the ending just beginning?
How can we make sure
that the good guys win?
