"Red Rocks" by Aarin, 15 | The Pioneers
The glassy world of today
Will never shine quite that way.
Tomorrow comes and goes
just like the river flows.
We are pebbles beneath the glass,
we're redder than the mountain pass.
Our real selves, just below air
trying to live without a care.
We're stuck in the water, oh so deep
we can't go anywhere, cannot leap.
We are deep and meaningful
you know it's true.
We are the rocks of every hue.
