• Where's Tempest?
    Have you seen her tonight?
    I cannot find her
    on this cold, snowy night.

    Have you seen Tempest?
    she's not anywhere!
    Are any of you listening?
    Do any of you care?

    Where's my Tempest?
    my sea of shining seas?
    Where has she gone?
    Does she even hear my pleas?

    Is that my Tempest?
    Is it her in the room?
    Is that her, dangling there?!
    It's her, I presume!

    Is that my Tempest?
    hanging above her bed?
    No! My Tempest!
    My daughter is dead.

    I ask why she's done this.
    she had a strong will.
    For once her rowdy classmates
    were silent and still.

    My Tempest, My Tempest,
    they taunted her so.
    She felt unworthy.
    She felt she had to go.

    Do you see Tempest?
    Your words are the rope.
    hanged her in her bedroom,
    for you took away your hope.

    What did you say to her?
    Did you call her a freak?
    Did you stone her until
    she couldn't speak?

    I've seen the bruises,
    the cuts, the tears.
    I know what you're doing!
    I know it's from fear!

    But My little Tempest,
    she was just a kid.
    We are what we are,
    but look what you did.

    So what if we're different?
    If we believe what we do?
    I'm a person
    and so are you.

    No, not a person.
    You animals! you savage things!
    Our beliefs are the thoughts
    onto which we cling.

    So what is she was a Wiccan?
    She wasn't hostile.
    If you'd gotten to know her
    to see her smile:

    You've would have said,
    Tempest ain't so bad.
    but Man, are we
    for making her sad.

    Have you seen Tempest?
    No, she's gone to bed.
    in a wooden box
    and dirt as a bed.

    Where is she?
    Did you see her before?
    You can't ask my Tempest
    nothing no more.
