Different

On the Street

Maria's pov

I woke to the sound of the talking and hooves pound on the ground. I opened my eyes then quickly shut them due to the bright sunlight. Once my eyes had adjusted to the light I sat up and stretched. I stood up and folded my blanket and put it under one of the crates.

I grabbed the bread from my bag. I sat on top of the crate and ate a bit of it. I had eaten half of it before I was somewhat content. I stuffed the rest of the bread back into the bag.

I started to look for something I could hold my money in. I found a small tin cup in a bag in the corner of the alley. I adjusted my hat, grabbed the cup, and started walking. I wanted to find the perfect spot to start "work". I sing and dance on the street to try and earn some extra coin.

I decided to stop walking after I had it to the market. I picked a spot on the side of the street and put my cup down next to me. I didn't really feel like dancing today, so I really didn't worry about where I put the cup. 

I thought for a second on what song I wanted to sing. I decided on sing my favorite song which is called Tightrope. I started to sing. 

Some people long for a life that is simple and planned

Tied with a ribbon

Some people won't sail the sea 'cause they're safer on land

To follow what's written

But I'd follow you to the great unknown

Off to a world we call our own

After hearing the first verse of the song some people stopped to listen. Some put a coin in the cup and then stood back to watch. I smiled and sang the next verse. 

Hand in my hand and we promised to never let go

We're walking the tightrope

High in the sky

We can see the whole world down below

We're walking the tightrope

Never sure, never know how far we could fall

But it's all an adventure

That comes with a breathtaking view

Walking the tightrope

I watched the crowd thicken around me as more people came to listen. Through the crowd a man caught my eye. He was wearing a red coat and a black top hat. He watched me with a look of amazment. I didn't know what that was about. I mean I knew I was a good singer but I'm not that good. I stopped thinking about it and just continued with the song.

With you, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh                                                                                                                                            With you, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh                                                                                                                                            With you  

Mountains and valleys, and all that will come

in between 

Desert and ocean 

You pulled me and together we're lost in a dream

Always in motion 

So I risk it all for this life we choose

Hand in my hand and you promised to never let go

We're walking the tightrope

High in the sky
