     One sould, alone, knew
     Knew what would happen
     To the world
     She could see it
     And was scared

     This lone child
     She had powers
     Ones she wish she didn't have
     Powers to peer along the timestream
     And it frightened her

     But she was a good soul
     And wanted to save all she could
     So she gave people warnings
     About upcoming disasters
     And they didn't believe

     They laughed at her
     Scoffing at such crazy notions
     What was one girl to say
     What would happen
     Not believing, not caring

     But then things started to happen
     To the people she told
     Her warning were coming true
     And they grew scared
     And frightened

     They could not understand this girl
     With the powers to see beyond
     They felt she knew too much
     And they grew afraid
     People fear what they do not know

     Fear grew, swirled
     Growing ever larger
     They decided the best course of action
     Death upon the girl
     And they advanced

     She saw it coming
     But did not resist
     So her warnings would end
     They would never know
     The real disaster ahead

     She left a message
     Her last one
     A letter to those in power
     Warning of destruction, chaos
     How it could be changed

     The leaders received it
     Contemplated it
     Heard the story from the news
     The girl that told the future
     The girl that knew too much

     But the girl was dead
     They could not question her
     Just heed her letter
     And they looked at each other
     And doubted

     But one guy
     He took action
     Changed things around
     Averting disaster
     But the girl was still dead

     She was praised
     But no one could revive her
     For fear had killed her
     Necessity had saved the world
     But necessity did not save her

     She had sacrificed herself
     For the world
     So that the world could survive
     While she saw her own path end
     She was brave

     This one girl
     Not alone
     There are others out there
     People that are different
     But don't fear them

     No, don't fear
     Show them the world
     Show them this world has changed
     That things are better now
     And the girl didn't die in vain
