Don't Go Away (Keep It Real)

[Lady Idril]

Don’t Go Away (Keep It Real)

Put your guns down, love,
Let’s keep it real.
This war you’re waging doesn’t look good.
Tie a yellow ribbon round your head and call it done.

Hey, love, sha la la.
Let’s keep it cool.
Remember the smell of innocence.
Go back to your city and live it all again.

Let’s keep going, love,
Let’s keep it soft.
Take a walk down memory lane
Back to the beginning and the birth of peace.

Go on, kneel, love,
Let’s keep it right.
Speak the words to the Father above,
The words I shout for you every night.

Come on, love, stay with me,
Let’s keep it real.
Hold off on killing, let’s hold on to peace.
A flower in my hair, a smile on my face.

Yeah, if I can’t make you stay, I’ll keep it real while you’re away.

Ah, if only life could be like what this person is trying to accomplish. Not just for one person, but for us all.

Imagine that world. Peace.

Sorry being philosophical here.

Loved it, hon.

Wonderful, Idril, really wonderful.

[Lady Idril]

Thank you both very much! I wrote it on a whim. I haven't been feeling entirely patriotic lately, so I just gave it a shot, and that's what came out. Thank you!

[Lady Idril]

"Remember the smell of innocence."

That was my favorite line. It was just so... poetic for lack of a better word. Beautiful poem; you're a great writer! (So jealous!)
