Nobody loves the girl in grey
She's pretty and smart
But that's all for today
She will climb mountains for you
Will cross oceans for you
Will cry for you
Will DIE for you,
But nobody would do the same
The girl in grey has pains of her own
She's tired
She's scared
She's all alone
For years and years
They've watched her play
With that smile of hers
Day by day
No one understood her crying tears
Or the constant questions
Or the lingering fears
She was strange
She was shy?
Nobody knows the girl in grey
She has so many stories
To tell day by day
She has so many secrets she's willing to share
She has so many hours she's willing to spare
Because one other person all dressed in grey
Is too many to count
In her eyes
Day by day
To see all the pain in the world around
To see all the suffering always found
She'd rather it just be herself
She's the girl in grey with the heart of a rainbow
She feels your pain like it's her own
She will never give up, cuz that's who she is
No matter if your name is John, Ann, or Liz
She will always be there
Just lurking around
Hoping against all odds
All girls in grey will be found
And loved to no end,
like she never could be
She loves herself like she loves her family
She will hold on
Nobody loves the girl in grey
She's kind and generous
And she's here day by day
She'll be blamed for things she didn't do
She'll cry at night at truths untrue
But never will she be blue
The girl in grey
Nobody loves the girl in grey

The world is full
of daughters and sons
but royalty gets in the way
No one is born better
no better blood exists
no existing humans are more important than you
I am a daughter
my father is a son
we are all royalty with perfect blood
And all daughters are princesses
all sons are princes
whether it be the president's princess
the teacher's prince
the lawyer's princess
the single mother's prince
the janitor's princess
the performer's prince
or the oceanographer's princess
With different blood comes purity

They say only fools fall in love
so an idiot I am
to have fallen in love so young
and so fast
and so without a glance back.
Love's tragic ocean
has followed me around
for years
and I have stayed above water
because I will marry him
eventually.
I have known him for years
he is my friend
my brother
my partner in crime
and so I stay afloat
because I will marry him
eventually.
I have seen others drown in love
I have heard their screams.
They tried to cross the ocean
but then failed and stayed forever
on the sandy floor.
I wait for the day when his loved ones
will make it across
and he will await with open arms.
But the day is yet to come.
And so my heart beats on
and I dodge every wave
closer and closer
until one day
the sea will part
and he will give his heart
to me

An apple a day
doesn't keep the doctor away
but a doctor a day keeps the apples closer
and a penny saved isn't a penny earned
but a penny earned is a penny saved
I'm not trying to burst your bubble
I'm just trying to break the ice
I'm just trying to cut to the chase
an apple a day
doesn't keep the doctor away
and a penny saved isn't a penny earned
but a doctor a day keeps the apples closer
and a penny earned is a penny saved
early to bed early to rise
all depends on daylight savings
don't look a gift horse in the mouth
because
An apple a day
doesn't keep the doctor away
but a doctor a day keeps the apples closer
and a penny saved isn't a penny earned
but a penny earned is a penny saved
It's the elephant in the room
why, it's easy as pie
even though an apple a day doesn't keep the doctor away
those with money can afford a doctor and can eat apples
and if one earns money for a living
well that's cash right there that can be saved
for the future
an apple a day
doesn't keep the doctor away
and a penny saved isn't a penny earned
but a doctor a day keeps the apples closer
and a penny earned is a penny saved
Every cloud has a silver lining
It's not brain surgery
It ain't all that it's cracked up to be
Just keep on truckin
yes, please keep your shirt on
because money doesn't grow on trees
Go out on a limb
go earn that penny
go save that penny
because
An apple a day
doesn't keep the doctor away
but a doctor a day keeps the apples closer
and a penny saved isn't a penny earned
but a penny earned is a penny saved
and nobody wants Elvis to leave the building

The story is known throughout the world
a broken family
the misunderstood offspring
it takes pure chance to become a father or mother
but being a dad or mom is the
hardest work of all
the problem with the world
is that no one understands one another
no one knows how to help each other
that's why relationships can fade
and lives end quicker than expected
and the solution of the problem
doesn't lie in the adults
the children are the only ones who can
terminate the errors of our ways
because if those children
see the youngest of children
having similar dilemmas
then the olders should aid the youngers
if the youngers are saved
the whole world will be in good hands

Dead men walking
down the road at twilight
without a care in the world
or a sound
Beliefs seemed to falter
what others said mattered
the footprints trailing behind don't match their own
They speak with the same voice
they have the same mind
yet they had the chance to be different
Soon she will be one of them
as will he and his friend as well
Unified minds alike
Another dead man walking

Fear
creeping in
creeping out
pounding hard against the skull
building up
crying out
rising higher until full
creeping in
creeping out
seeping in
can't get out
fighting hard
standing strong
won't be long
until you win
creeping out

You say you can't fly
But have you ever tried?
You say you can't live
But still have yet to die
You say you can't smile
But the creases on your mouth say otherwise
You say you can't dream
Well, try for a while
You say you can't speak
But we've heard it before
You say you can't eat
But there's no full plate on the floor
You say you can't
You say you can't
We think it's that you won't
So can you?

She started so young
a flower
an angel
a mermaid
whatever she wanted to be
She cast charms
became a princess
rode a unicorn
had the perfect dresses
she saw what she wanted to see
He grew up the same way
a pirate
a warrior
a hero
the person he wanted to be
he slayed dragons
became a knight
ruled the kingdom
won a fight
He saw what he wanted to see
But then they grew older
the girl and the boy
and small things began to change.
There were no more kings
no more dragons and magical things
no more dreams that were yet to come true
No more brave and heroic knights
no more princesses ready to take flight
no more times that were sparkly and new
Because we all grow up
that's what's meant to be
and we all lead perfection away
The kids all learn
and sometimes yearn
to grow older and start a new day
But what we forget to do
when we think things through
is to ponder about what we used to be
When we were free
no responsibility
and happy endings were key
