Ginny the Flying Girl
Ginny the flying girlwanted to see the worldher parents were poor and they couldn't affordto send her away for a whirlshe waited until they slept and into the night she creptwith only the stars and the cold light of MarsGinny took off like a jetshe rode through the sky like an elephant's eyelike the stars in a thundering herdand when she came downall the world had turned 'roundand all that the ground people heardwas 'oh, for the life of a bird'she lived in a tiny roomsurrounded by huge balloonsthe covers would fly past her magical eyeand the pillows saluted the moonat night when the lights went outshe'd take to the sky and shout'hey Milky Way, lead me on 'til the daysays hello to the night's turnabout'Letras de cancioneswhenever the world won't bendwhenever I need a friendI just close my eyes and I reach for the skyand I know I can make it againwhenever my dreams run dryjust when I need to crywhenever it all looks too big, or too tallI remember that I can fly
