Katniss Everdeen
The Girl Who Was on Fire, saved
us from destruction
Baby Rue is dead
Katniss will have her revenge
All districts beware
Here at the triumph
I am still wondering this:
Who, really, has won?
Panems Hunger Games
Twenty three children will die
Who will win it all
Protecting peeta
My name's Katniss Everdeen
My love is real
When Effie calls Prim,
Katniss volunteers herself
and her world will change
To save my sister
The Hunger Games I will go
Arrow please fly straight
The young girl on fire
Taking down the Capitol
Warn the districts now
Unforgiveable
Snow ruined my Peeta; now,
the Mockingjay flies.
Kids in every
direction lean forward to
Survival tools BANG!
My arrows I trust,
please do save me from my death,
for Prim, I return.
Delicate flowers
Done in yellow frosting, sweet
Peeta's baker hand
The Girl On Fire
Who Is In Love With Peeta
Hand In Hand They Stand
When all is Lost
And hope is scarce
All there is left is love
The boy with the bread
Dandelion in the spring
Anyone but him
With the fall of Snow
She set the whole world aflame;
She was Mockingjay.
Flying through the trees
Mockingjays and four-note song
The Beautiful Rue
Do not fret, stay strong!
For I am your Mockingjay,
Our song will prevail.
The games are over
mockingjay sings of freedom
girl and boy are safe
Please lay down your head
I can't believe you are dead
The sun will rise soon
For my little sis!
I refuse the death of me
I will conquer this.
Gale the hunter boy
or Peeta, the baker's son
oh which one to chose
Gale the hunter boy,
or Peeta, the baker's son,
Oh which one to choose?
I fight for my life,
Will this horror ever end?
I must keep moving
They want food and games,
Captivated by madness
No one has freedom.
