We couldn't keep her away, so I am here to introduce Skyedaughter Lightfire. She be singin' the new song she had planned for the openin' afore she took the daft tumble off the stage.
:::beckons to the back curtain:::
Skye ...
:::Skye steps through curtain gingerly, favoring right foot, but still wearing her steel toed boots, skirts a plenty and a brocaid bodice laced with velvet over a silken blouse:::
:::walks, broadly smiling (no pun intende) to mic:::
Ah well, and it's nice to see such a good crowd tonight. I see there are a few stayovers from the Grand Opening ... sorry about that impromptu tumble, but it sure felt nice to have so many sweet faces peerin down at me, even though they were a bit blurry.
Well, enough said. Me wenches tell me I have to conserve me energy, so I just wanted to sing the one new song I was going to introduce in honor of the Grand Opening of Hope's Haven. And every day and night here be grand, so 'tis timely after all.

We all be star children, so here goes...
1.
We are children of the night
with starburn in our souls.
If you step out of the light
youll feel the urge to follow.
And well never stop til we get it right;
well never stop til we can fly.
2.
It was so long ago,
we learned to love the night sky.
And though we couldnt go,
we watched the stars dancing high.
And oh, how we burned in our dreams
with the longing to fly.
Chorus
Star children, its part of our history;
born longing to fly, from the moment we could breathe.
Stardust twined round our DNA,
built in to guide us on our way.
3.
It was drawn on the walls of ancient caves,
the others who came long ago to point the way,
to rise up and leave the Earth below,
to fly on fire, the bravest of the brave.
And oh how the visions burned in our dreams,
and oh how we counted the days.
4.
Now the sky is filled with light,
and star ships come and go.
And we fly with delight
watching galaxies turn, to and fro.
And now we are the lights burning in the sky
while others watch from below, longing to fly.
Chorus
Star children, its part of our history;
born longing to fly, from the moment we could breathe.
Stardust twined round our DNA,
built in to guide us on our way.
5.
We tell the stories to the little ones,
the fame and glory; and touching the Suns.
We see the starburn in their little eyes
as we kiss them, each and everyone.
And oh, how they burn in their dreams
With the longing to touch the unseen.
6. (Reprise Verse 1)
We are children of the night
with starburn in our souls.
If you step out of the light
youll feel the urge to follow.
And well never stop til we get it right;
Well never stop til we can fly.
And we never stopped til we could fly,
no, we never stopped til we could fly (fade)

:::puts guitar back on stand:::
Thank you all so much for lettin' me share that one song with you. It's been burnin' in me own soul to share it and now I'll turn the stage back over to the rest of the musicians. A good night to ye all, and enjoy it well. :::Skye blows a kiss to the audience, turns, and with one last look over her shoulder, tossing her long dark hair and smiling, disappears through the curtain.
