Upon the Sands

I see the ship, I watch it fly,

Reaching up towards the sky.

Gone for reasons unknown to me,

But no longer in the sand it be.

…

Another ship is setting down,

Resting on the sandy ground.

What bounty is there to be found,

By ruined ships this place surround?

…

A graveyard of wars so long gone,

While the galaxy, it spins along.

Bitter wind is this world's song,

And here I stay, for time so long.

…

Waiting for the time to leave,

To escape the touch of sand-stung breeze.

To see the stars as I so please,

But for now, fate I appease.

…

Throughout the length of Jakku's day,

Scrap for food, no wage or pay,

Steadily making my way,

Reminded still, "my name is Rey."
