I wake up late, its Reaping Day
Head to the forest to meet Gale
Its a lottery, I hope they dont choose me
What would my family do if I disappeared ?
In the square,
Effie reads off her name
I nearly collapse before I scream
Oh Prim, I'll never let you go
Oh Prim, I'll never let you go
Take me to the arena, just leave her alone
Oh Prim, I'll never let you go
Beyond the train, they all seem so vain
I bite my tongue until it bleeds
Stuck in between
I dream of the seam
At least my sister is safe at home
Cinna waves goodbye
Slowly i ascend
Waiting for the gong,
I whisper to myself

You could be Katniss and I could be Peeta
Waiting for a canon, midnight in the arena
In the Hunger Games
We could be the tributes from district twelve
Nothing I would do would be to save myself
In the Hunger Games
You'll never have to bury Rue alone again
Take the stage, Take the world, Just take my hand
We were just children, there was little I could do
Its gonna take more than bread for me to save you
In the Hunger Games
You could nurse me to health until I was fine
we could eat those berries at the same exact time
In the Hunger Games
Katniss, You know that I love you
I have you since our eyes first met
I know were meant to be together
Each moment with you is the best one yet
I just sleep better
With your head upon my shoulder
And this love letter
Is televised for all the world to see
I've one mission
Its for you to make it through this
And when were kissing
I know that my sacrifice will be worthwhile
Katniss, You know that I love you
So let me hear you sing one last time
If for the briefest moment we're together
I'm elated that you were ever mine

A thousand arrows couldn't
shoot those surging flames
So Run dear Katniss run
it will be over soon enough
The water you need
Is just out of your reach
So run dear Katniss run
It will be over soon enough
This is no place for a Girl on Fire
Where everything is more complex than the seam
This is no place for a girl on fire
Here its life or death, and nothing in between
Now the careers have got you
Squarely in their sights
Fight dear Katniss fight
And you'll make it through the night
All of panems watching
You're not a canon shot
Fight dear Katniss fight
And you'll make it through the night
(You are the Mockingjay)

Freedom in Panem

"Stay alive" is all that Haymich said
He took another swig
And hoped the plan would go smoothly
May the odds ever be in your favor,
Heres a life to savor
I laugh at the irony
We're only children
Why should we play?
For the capitol,
Built on injustice
For their entertainment
In the hunger games
The plutocrats
Living in excess
I want to wake from
This life of bad dreams
Our last hope lies
In district 13
The sky explodes, I dont know what i know
I can almost hear their screaming
Our plotting and scheming
For Freedom in Panem
begins tonight
I know that we'll win, but what have we lost?
You don't forget the face of your last hope
Give them a length of rope
an avox would could fill volumes
In the Quarter Quell
Far too many fell
Now were left with something to hold on to

You Are the Mockingjay

At first I fought your fame
Nothing will be the same
I was trapped at home
Now our covers blown
I know this war has just begun
You'll be its central front
And I know that I should hold my tongue
Not tell you youre the one
I know it hurts to hear these words
you're bracing for that punch
I needed you to know the truth
If only just this once
You are, You are the Mockingjay
I will stay by your side
stubborn as the tide
I'm not a TV star
I am just a simple boy
I'm, asking you to be my girl
Theres no strategy, no ploy
Events are spinning wildly now
Theyre out of our control
One word from your perfect lips
I'm in total revolt
You are, You are the Mockingjay
