A bird is born to fly, born for the moment, it takes to the sky   And all its dreams are riding on its wings   But if it falls, the dreams aren't broken   As long as the wind is fair, the sky is always there      Oh, the girl who used to be me, she could fly, she was free   You could read by the light of her smile   Yes, the girl who used to be me used to go dancing   She's been gone such a long, long while      She left without a sound, nobody noticed she wasn't around   And only the moon remembers her at all   The days go by, you start asking questions   And wondering why, why did the dreams all go?   I guess it's time to know      Oh, the girl who used to be me, she could fly, she was free   And she wrote all the words to her song   Yes, this girl who used to be me, used to go dancing   And I feel she's been gone too long   I'd like the chance to be the girl who used to be me, oh   The girl
