Serendipity's Song

By Thorin N. Tatge

As sung by Serendipity the Lapras on PokeMUCK

White the water's end, white the edge of space

White a backward eye, white a forward face

White a jagged rend, just around the bend

Time will be my friend!

Time will be my friend (x4)

In the channel’s bend, time will be my friend.

Time will be my friend!

CHORUS:

Currents of the first ones

Flown to me, shown through me

I, a rough and growing edge

Edge of time, I!

Every living piece holds a treasure dear

Everything I see makes the water clear

Every move I make brings to life my kin

Time will take me in!

Time will take me in (x4)

It will hold my fin, it will guide me in

Time will take me in!

CHORUS

If the communes sink, if the blue survives

If the world melts, if the end arrives

If but I live on, what will my fate be?

Serendipity!

Life is not a gift, life is not a load

Life is not a square, life is not a road

Life is but a way that the world turns

To meet itself!

CHORUS

If the cities sink, if not one survives

If the icecaps melt, if the end arrives

If but we live on, how did I meet thee?

Serendipity!

I will go with you, where your quest may stray

If you have no quest, I'll go anyway

I owe you my mind, and words cannot say

How I love you, Leigh.

FINAL CHORUS:

Currents of the present,

Flown to us, shown through us,

We, a smoothed and growing edge…

Serendipity

Serendipity!
