I wake up late, its reaping day
Head to the forest to meet gale
Its a lottery, I hope they don't 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
As slowly I ascend
Waiting for the gong
I whisper to myself
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
