ever since the girl was small
she dreamt of places afar.
ever since the girl could walk
she's been off chasing the stars.
night after night,
year after year
the girl kept her pace,
for fear that if she stopped for a moment
the gaze would leave her face.
every person she met was a friend,
every place she learned to call home
people wandered why she did it,
but for her to live was to roam.
they did not understand why she chased the stars
they said that the girl was lost
to them the stars were not worthy
you see stars do not have a cost.
chasing stars is an an impossible task!
the people would shout and condemn
but little did the people know
that is precisely why she chased them.
