Her dreams they come in color like movie reels on a screen
She remembers every moment of magic she has ever seen
She is no ordinary girl
Most days her hands are covered in mud from playing with bugs and worms
She’s really not too worried about girlie things like getting sick and germs
It’s not that she’s untidy she usually starts out clean
She never dreams of being a princess
Because she knows she will be queen
She dreams of catching fire flies in the dead of night
She wants to hold one in the palm of her hand to use it as a light
Sometimes she gets up very early before everyone is awake
Just to watch the sun rise up and the colors that it makes
She doesn’t think that she’s beautiful but it glows beneath her skin
The woman one day she will become
Shines like that sunrise within
