about

At the novel's end, Dayna emerges from a harrowing near-death wilderness ordeal -- and, in the process, emerges from the last vestiges of her depression. She gains new insights and understandings that she expresses in this song.

lyrics

Look at us
It's the haves versus the have-nots
So rehearsed, we act like robots -- it's bizarre.
We don't trust
So plugged-in and so plugged-up,
We're afraid to love each other as we are.
We need more drums --
And fewer drum machines.
Truer hearts --
And fewer dumb routines.

Chorus:
Let's get carried away -- and rise above
Carried away -- in boundless love
I will carry you, if you'll carry me
So let's throw all the rules out the window
Let's get carried away -- okay.

Look at us:
Can't you see that something's wrong?
Too many DJs, too few songs -- by far.
We can't see
All these students and these teachers
For the individual creatures that we are.
Stop building walls --
And tear the old ones down.
Our world's so small --
We all share common ground.

(Repeat Chorus)

Just as sure
As the world will keep on turning,
Every spin around the sun, we're learning more.
But it's still
Just a little disconcerting
To love like we never have been hurt before.
So let's refuse
To play games anymore.
We can't lose
If we're not keeping score.
But I will carry you, if you'll carry me
I will you carry you, if you say...

(Repeat Chorus)
