003 // Accidental Video (mid-afternoon)

[treehopping]

[Rue's NV is lying flat on the kitchen table, you can't really see her but you can hear her humming. There's a bowl in the periphery of the camera, full of pea pods, Rue's shelling them for dinner and just as they did back in District 11 she's singing as she works in a surprisingly pleasing voice.]

Black Clouds Are Behind Me
I Now Can See Ahead
Often I Wonder Why I Try
Hoping For An End
Sorrow Weighs My Shoulders Down
And Trouble Haunts My Mind
But I Know The Present Will Not Last
And Tomorrow Will Be Kinder

Tomorrow Will Be Kinder
It's True I've Seen It Before
A Brighter Day Is Comin' My Way
Yes Tomorrow Will Be Kinder

Today I've Cried A Many Tear
And Pain Is In My Heart
Around me lies a somber Scene
I Don't Know Where To Start
But I Feel Warmth On My Skin
The Stars Have all Aligned
The Wind Has Blown But Now I Know
That Tomorrow Will Be Kinder

Tomorrow Will Be Kinder
I Know I've seen it before
A Brighter Day Is Coming My Way
Yes Tomorrow Will Be Kinder

A Brighter Day Is Coming My Way
Yes Tomorrow Will Be Kinder

[She keeps humming past the end of the song to the sound of peas dropping into a bowl before the feed eventually cuts out.]
