I hear his voice
Echoing throughout the trees
His words nearly bring me to my knees
It’s Claudius’ voice
Ringing out in open air
I look around; I’m wild
But you’re not there

“Peeta!”
I call your name
I shout, “Peeta!”
The move that made my game
“Peeta!”
I know you’re out there still
And now, if I can find you
I will

I cover my mouth
Did anyone around me hear?
I pause, but I am in the clear
And Claudius’ words
Are bouncing now inside my head
I pray that you’re not dead

“Peeta!”
I call your name
I shout, “Peeta!”
The move that made my game
“Peeta!”
I know you’re out there still
And now, if I can find you
I will

“Peeta!”
The cry is there
Going, “Peeta!”
The wait is more than I can bear
“Peeta!”
I hope you’re out there still
And now, if I can find you
I will

I find you in the mud
Covered up with dirt
I try to help you up
But you’re too badly hurt
We make it to a cave
where hopefully, you’ll heal
I look into your eyes and pray
That this is real

“Peeta!”
You’re here with me
I shout, “Peeta,
You’d better stay with me!”
“Peeta!”
You’re in my arms for now
I’ll save you if I can learn how
If only I’d figure out how
