Gravity


There was once a girl She was sweet as can be There was once a girl And there was more to her than what you could see She dreamt of flying Being stuck on the ground bothered her And people were always lying She had had enough with gravity She ran home, her eyes spilling seas Today she would finally save herself from this brutality Alone in the dark Her metallic hand seemed to be her only escape Up to her head - she ignored her dogs' bark She remembered all of her years of crying She was once a girl, a very sweet girl really And she was flying
