lyrics

Here’s the lonely girl you never sought
Here’s the quiet kid that you forgot
Watch as she circles the school paking lot singing
“This little light of mind, I’m gonna let it shine...”
Here she is in her school’s study hall
Losing time staring holes in the wall
But what is this magic that holds her in thrall?
That tears off the roof in a singular squall
Sends several fantastical friends down to call singing
“Please, Lovely, join us!”

An enchanted summons then Bid her to enter in
And no one sees her when she leaves

Into the air, what a glorious prize
The wind and the sun burn the scales from her eyes
And piercing the sky with her grace and her stealth
She circles the globe and encounters herself And oh, what abundance here, what worth and wealth
Do you see?

An enchanted summons then
Came rather from within
And it insisted she believe

Lonely girl, yours is a timorous lot
You think too much, Darling, of what you are not
And next time you do, please recall you can sing
And the itch at your back is the beat of your wings
And they’re carry you forward to wonderful things
