Because the sunshine kid was bright, with a warm personality, And inside he burned savagely Hurt by the words and curses of the shadowy folk who spoke holes in his soul and left cavities, And as his heart hardened, his spark darkened, Every time they called him names it cooled his flames, He thought they might like him if he kept his light dim But they were busy telling lightning she had terrible aim, He couldn’t quite get to grips with what they said, So he let his light be eclipsed by what they said, He fell into a Lone Star State like Texas, And felt like he’d been punched in his solar plexus.
لأن الطفل المشرق ساطعا وذكيا، بشخصية دافئة، ويحترق بوحشية من الداخل حيث أنه تأذى بكلمات وشتائم القوم الغامضين الذين تحدثوا بالسوء عنه وغادروا مخلفين فجوات، وكلما تحجر قلبه خفت بريقه، كل مرة أطلقوا عليه اسما  تنطفأ شعلته، كان يعتقد أنهم سيحبونه إذا ما أبقى ضوءه خافتا ولكنهم كانوا مشغولين بحديث صاعق كان الهدف رهيبا، لم يتمكن من الحصول على السيطرة بما قالوه، لذلك سمح لنوره بالانطفاء بما قالوه، سقط في ولاية النجمة الوحيدة مثل تكساس، وأحس وكأنه تم دفعه نحو انطوائه.
