Once there lived a world inside her head   She locked it up and threw away the key   Thoughts would flow but words were left unsaid   A distant shore at each end of the sea      She wrapped the world in fragrance of a dream   With all its wonder hidden in her heart   But precious few will ever see the change   In this big bad world we all must play our part      Should I go it alone, must I pretend   Will people around me ever lend a hand   Can I do anything I want to do   If you lean on me, I'll lean on you      In passing conversation with the man   Who held her when she saw the light of day   Always thinking she would grow up strong   His little girl had somewhere gone astray   Lost the rhythm of imagination   And cut the canvas just to fit the frame
