I made the promise
But missed the mark
I searched the skies
In the midnight dark
I found a key
Covered in rust
I buried my hopes
In a sea of dust
Stood up in the world
Without my share

Struck by a stone
Fell from the sky
Now was alone
I couldn’t fly
My wings are gone
All hope is lost
I’ll become something
I just don’t know what

Tom Sawyer did and there are accounts of people that have. It could be a nice surprise but could also be a crushing disappointment when those you trust and love the most turn out to be the ones that don't care or where the ones that were against you without you knowing it. Interesting and wonderful both in concept, design and execution.
