Cindy Ella and the Sky
She was the beauty in all the land
Yet no fair man would take her hand
Her dreams she would trace in the sand
To live with the stars was her only plan
No one could save her soul's dismay
No prince could take Ella away
In her room she had to stay
And leave her passion there at bay
When stepmother came and forced the chores
When Cindy's heart there implored
All around would just ignore
And Cindy Ella could take no more
For Cindy cried herself to sleep
With animals down beneath her feet
To stepmother, her pain was sweet
And to Cindy, her life's defeat
No sisters to cry the pain away
But to push and shove and hate and prey
At her misery, their dresses swayed
For her downfall, their soul's would pray
Cindy Ella trapped in her cell
Could not accept this little hell
Into her dreams she always fell
And dreamed great dreams that she would tell
Cindy found solace in the stars
Wanted to climb from her cage and fly to Mars
She never left her destiny marred
She never accepted her life made hard
So as Cindy looked up to the sky
Tears flow down her face as she cried
She whispered, yelled, and wondered why
Into the stars she could not fly
A rumble in the bush did show
A source to let her dreams grow
And joy from her heart began to flow
Into the stars she believed she'd go
Her own fairy godmother revealed hope
To her once dreary life scope
No longer would she have to mope
For she had got a telescope
A device to look beyond the clouds
Let her wings grow and abound
As she ignored the doubts around
As she soared high above the ground
Every night Cindy would look on up
Sparkles and twinkles made her heart erupt
But stepmother made her joy abrupt
When she saw good Cindy looking up
Cindy ran very far that day
She ran and kissed that life away
For on her happiness did they prey
When her telescope was broken as it lay
She ran too fast for feet alone
Her legs went pounding on the stone
She felt an urge deep in her bones
To fly far away from her home
Cindy ran and ran to an edge
Without stopping, she refused to hedge
As the distance grew smaller her feet sped
She dove into the darkness by her head
All around were astounded
For from the darkness no noise had sounded
The dreams on which Cindy founded
Were too far-fetched, she was not grounded
But Cindy's feet began to rise
You could see the thrill within her eyes
Godmother there to hear her cries
And into the deep deep stars she flies
