Worlds Apart
by Starchild (1995)
A person sits on one side of the world alone and broken-hearted.
Another person plays happily on the other side.
The first prays a silent prayer for guidance
While the other is bouncing around without a care
These two beings not knowing the other share the same qualities.

A prayer is heard of a sad soul searching
A friend reaches out to another
A kind, gentle soul strives to help the lost being
A troubled mind needs to be put at ease.

A dolphin swims while the falcon flies
A serene being vs. the unknowing soul
The falcon falls
T'is the dolphin that shall save it
The dolphin gives the falcon the courage
The falcon tries to stand but fails
The dolphin pushes the falcon to its feet
The falcon stands knowing the dolphin will catch it.

The troubled becomes understood
The worried becomes calm
He who flies shall never fall far
For a friend will catch him.

A person sits alone on one side of the world broken-hearted
Another plays happily on the other side
The first begins to understand
The second already knows
These two beings not knowing each other have helped the other.
