I saw a girl who bought a world.
The smile on her face,
Has told a story of happiness
The kind is bought with wealth.
A world to her - like a new toy
Amusing and so fun
And not a man in a whole town
Just wouldn't face the truth.
I saw a girl who lost a world
The tears that are down her eyes
Has told a story the saddest of all
The one that can't be fixed with wealth.
I saw a world that lost a girl.
The shameful funeral,
Has told a story of ignorance
And people who don't care.
A girl to them was like a toy
Amusing and so fun
And a not person in a whole town
Wanted to face the truth.

I saw a girl who bought a world.
The smile on her face,
Has told a story of happiness
The kind is bought with wealth.
A world to her - like a new toy
Amusing and so fun
And not a man in a whole town
Just wouldn't face the truth.
I saw a girl who lost a world
The tears that are down her eyes
Has told a story the saddest of all
The one that can't be fixed with wealth.
I saw a world that lost a girl.
The shameful funeral,
Has told a story of ignorance
And people who don't care.
A girl to them was like a toy
Amusing and so fun
And a not person in a whole town
Wanted to face the truth.
