In her eyes
is a world
that nobody knows
because nobody takes the time
to look.
In that world
is a city of secrets,
a mountain of fear,
a field of pain.
In that world
is a sunshine of truth
and low-flying clouds
of judgment.
In her eyes
is a world
that nobody wants
nobody cares
except you.
You come into town
and you fix things back up
and uncover the sun
and in her eyes
is a whole new world.
A world that might be
worth looking at
after all.

Once upon a time,
there was a little girl.
The little girl believed
that she could change the world.

She thought and she thought
and she dreamed and she dreamed,
and decided that the world
wasn’t what it seemed.

She saw the good in everything,
the lightness of her heart
shined upon everything
and soon drew out the dark.

The little girl gave all her love
but got none in return,
forgotten by those that spent their lives
enjoying their new world.

Little by little,
step by step,
the happy little girl
soon lost her pep.

Heart becoming empty
from all the love she’d shared,
the little girl believed
that she could never be repaired.

She didn’t look at everybody’s
smiles on the street,
she didn’t see that she had made
these people’s lives complete.

She walked alone all through her life
with these thoughts inside her head,
dreaming of a better world
where love was never dead.

Once upon a rainy day,
she met a little girl
who looked up with a smile and said
“I’m going to change the world.”

She smiled back at the girl
and held out her hands,
the remains of her heart
were all she had to share.

The little girl tied
the pieces with a bow,
and replenished the love
which continued to grow.

The world was lit up once again
And free of all disaster,
The little girls that healed each other
lived happily ever after.
