Little girl lost
Standing barefoot and alone
Do not wander away
From your sweet sun
Follow the path that was chosen
It will lead you home
I promise you this

Hold on tightly
Little one
To that big red balloon
And let it,
Float high in the sky
So that you will be seen
May you be saved
Ever so sweetly

If that balloon
Should pop
Don’t be frightened, girl
If by some unfortunate
Flaw
Your hand should loosen its grasp
On the tiny string you hold
Causing that balloon to fly
Freely away
Use your voice and scream

Scream through your fear
Louder and louder
Until it’s deafening
And proud
Because you will be saved my dear
You deserve to be found
