there’s a young girl
who is sitting by the window
as she stares out
with a blank expression on her face
you can see she’s in far away places
this is the place where
she likes to come and think
her body looks frail
but you can see that she is strong
she curls her long brown hair around her finger
you’d never believe all the dreams that she is holding
but you can see in her eyes it’s not that far
and her dreams will never die
as long as she’s alive
and in the quiet of her soul
she’ll keep holding on
she may be a little bruised
but that’s okay
her motivation may even come from that
and so she’ll paint on a brave face
and lift her head up
and look within herself
and reach for her strength
and her dreams will never die
as long as she’s alive
and in the quiet of her soul
she’ll keep holding on
and her dreams will never die
as long as she’s alive
and in the quiet of her soul
she’ll keep holding on
