Dark Blue Night

In the dark blue night Orko holds and strokes

His baby sister Furaha is who he loves most

He cuddles and kisses in the shade of a tree

He sits in the forest, wild and free

Trying Again

You've had a horrible morning

And you're feeling very low

For there's one thing you need to know.

If at first you don't succeed

Please try your hand again

For it can bring on sunshine

And take away the rain!
