Ginny the flying girl   wanted to see the world   her parents were poor    and they couldn't afford   to send her away for a whirl   she waited until they slept    and into the night she crept   with only the stars    and the cold light of Mars   Ginny took off like a jet      she rode through the sky like an elephant's eye   like the stars in a thundering herd   and when she came down   all the world had turned 'round   and all that the ground people heard   was 'oh, for the life of a bird'      she lived in a tiny room   surrounded by huge balloons   the covers would fly past her magical eye   and the pillows saluted the moon   at night when the lights went out   she'd take to the sky and shout   'hey Milky Way, lead me on 'til the day   says hello to the night's turnabout'      whenever the world won't bend   whenever I need a friend   I just close my eyes and I reach for the sky   and I know I can make it again   whenever my dreams run dry   just when I need to cry   whenever it all looks too big, or too tall   I remember that I can fly
