What she was, was a dreamer
And she was the only one
So as others pulled out umbrellas
All she saw was sun

What she was, was an idealist
And to that she held quite true
So while others saw the hurricane
All she saw was blue

What she was, was a star-gazer
Her mind in some far off place
So while others slept away at night
She was lost in space

What she was, was an escapist
Always ready to flee
So while others docked their ships at bay
She was lost at sea

What she was, was a prisoner
Stuck in her own daydreams
So while others faced reality
She’d tighten her life’s seams

What she was, was a dreamer
And many later asked, “why?”
They thought the jump was suicide
But she thought she could fly
