I see you there, hiding in the dark.
Don't be afraid, I am here to help.
Look closely, don't you know me?
You see how I walk and talk; I am Unique!

Lester was given a magic wish
By the goblin who lives in the banyan tree,
And with his wish he wished for two more wishes-

A winter’s tree
is just like me

Play tricks on you
They talk behind your back
A hundred whispers to your one
It’s hard to listen,
hard to stop thinking
about what I want to say,
hard to stop searching
