The Repairing

*This song is about a boy who sees a man who needs some wakening spirit in him, this is also tied with a story and the time place is in the 2020, the boy appears 10 years of age
>Boy<
You wake up and look around everyday
Watching the dullness everywhere
And you do nothing
Just live another day like everyday
Call a taxi-
Get on the bus-
Go into your car-
(Oh yeah, you can walk as well)
To go to your job
Which you might hate or like a little too much
But the situation is still the same
Gray and Grey and even more gray
Dullness for all those who don't see
The light!
And not the one that comes from heaven, the sun or any little device
But the one inside
All of us
So you got to work
You do your thing
And now you continue your daily routine
Come on
Your on your way home now
No possible things you need to do
Just look at this tree
loook at its leafs
And --
(Oh great you didn't stop, wonderful joy)*sarcasm*
Come on now
Here is proof
You are walking through
Without as much as a single thought
Look at that park in ruins
See this building falling all apart
The path in cracked everywhere
Why do you just ignore --
>Man<
Child listen right here now!
Life is as bad as it is right now
People like you forcing "good" things around the world is just tearing it apart
People like you always suggest that places like this should be left because of history and good "vibes"
So maybe you should question your own way.
>Boy<
Don't you relate me to those people
They just think that history should just take over for the good of the world
They don't understand their decisions
And what will take place
I know a thing or two
For instance I know that you don't have anything to do right now
And secondly this place is in need of a few visits
Come on follow me!
There is something you need to see
You pass this lake everyday
But never bat an eye to it
Well now what do you see?
( Some bad things?)
(Wow, just wow, really descriptive, hey how old are you anyways)
(Wow, rude, I am 28)
(Ha that is hilarious!)
(What is?
(Nothing)
(That is what I thought)
(I thought you were thinking "why am I following this kid?)
(Wow what are you? A wise kid?)
(More like a wise old soul)
The birds of this city ignore this location
The rats pile up in the corner ignore the waste within the waters
The trees are wilting like no tomorrow
The children run away as soon as the smell reaches
Imagine those peoples decisions as soon as they hear
They will just destroy it
Beyond recognition
Then they will add something with less meaning
Come on don't you see it now
The beauty is dying
So let's go fix it
(What good will this do me?)
(Good back work? Moral?)
(All of those are bad reasons)
(How about I stop patronizing you about the problem)
(Much better)
This people always suggest to rebuild
Well I have a better recipe
Let's just repair
Put it in its natural state
Don't replace a single thing
Same structure everywhere
Maybe keep things basic in color
Do something with the water
And just watch as nature comes back
Everything becomes greener
Grass is growing back
Listen to the birds tweeting again
(And the rats in the corner, are actually dead, I missed that detail)
Just look around the natural beauty of this world
They are coming back
Those people can't do anything anymore
To down grade this area
(Is there a reason why you aren't helping me kid?)
(Yes, a "berry" good reason)
( Ha "berry" funny, I am guessing you won't tell me)
(I sorta hoped you found out by know considering how close it is)
(How close what is?)
(My proof of who I am)
(Hey kid, what is your name?)
(Well Jeff Austin Stakes, you have to find that out yourself)
(I am still wearing my name badge so don't expect me to question you about knowledge of my identity, you can call me Austin by the way)
(Alright)
The stars are coming out
The beauty of them is startling bright
The waters are clear
The trees are growing strong
I can even see a few flowers now
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da(3x)
(Hey kid come over here let me show you something)
~and when the kid came over he saw  a painting of him smiling, holding hands of other realistic kids~
(How?)
(I am very good at art, the kids I actually seen, a little hard to not notice them, they are louder than every taxi driver honking the horn)
~and all of a sudden two grown ups ran past Austin and put their hands on the picture of the kid and then said (thank you) and left~
(That was a little--~ he noticed that the child was looking at the grown ups and starting to cry a little~(hey kid what is wrong?)
(I know this two, their names are Mr and Mrs Gold, let's just say I knew their son, we were more close, we were basically the same people, everyone said we are, mostly because they knew)
(Knew what?)
(You still haven't seen it, and it has been right next to the tree all this time, and proof to shock you has been around you since the morning, huh, look at the pole next to the tree, now walk over there)
~Austin did what the kid said and when he saw that there was a poster on the pole he only looked at it and his eyes grown wide. For on that paper it said:
Have you seen me?
Missing since 12/03/1982
Name: Henry Gold
And the picture was the kid that has been with Austin since the morning
(Wait that means you are around 50 years ol--)~ when Austin looked behind the kid was no where to be seen, only a note on the bench, Austin went over and picked up the paper it read (a deal is a deal, you helped the park and now I will stop patronizing you, and since you will never see me again, my part of the deal has been fulfilled) ~and slowly Austin put everything together and he knew just what to do~
~the next day, Austin bought all the run down areas and named them all "The Gold Square" and one by one, he repaired each area.
