The winds of change she often rode
A wild free spirt, through the galaxy she strolled
Out in the Milky Way, she liked dipping in her toes
See the silver ripples as outwardly they flow
That fiery auburn hair was always in a whirl
When on Saturn's rings she would go for a twirl
She would wash her soul clean, in Jupiter's waterfall
She always loved listening to that planets howling call
Sadly her heart froze solid in the blizzards of Neptune
She flung herself to the Dark Side of the Moon
Like fireflies in the dark, bring life to a child's jar
Silent shimmering tears, gave birth to kaleidoscope stars
Don't bother looking, gone but still close
Another wild free spirit, woven into the cosmos

The winds of change she often rode
A wild free spirt, through the galaxy she strolled
Out in the Milky Way, she liked dipping in her toes
See the silver ripples as outwardly they flow
That fiery auburn hair was always in a whirl
When on Saturn's rings she would go for a twirl
She would wash her soul clean, in Jupiter's waterfall
She always loved listening to that planets howling call
Sadly her heart froze solid in the blizzards of Neptune
She flung herself to the Dark Side of the Moon
Like fireflies in the dark, bring life to a child's jar
Silent shimmering tears, gave birth to kaleidoscope stars
Don't bother looking, gone but still close
Another wild free spirit, woven into the cosmos
