Another day locked away Told to stay and hide Where I can’t explain how window panes contain the world outside Heaven knows I've tried So many stories So many lives here to be read All kinds of people Parade the streets here in my head A score of subjects A stream of things for me to learn But while I'm turning I keep yearning for Something more A story of my own A tale that I don't know A picture I'm a part of Paintings I'm inside Would be worth a thousand words All the things out there unheard Far away from tick and tock The girl who took on the world Once upon a time Won’t wait forever A life confined here on a page Between the bindings I find a sentence and a cage He knows, I'm certain Yet he asks me to keep in line To see his side When he can't see mine And all the people in books The never say what they mean Just take a look you’ll find subtext in every scene They say they will and they won’t They say they do and they don't So do I dare? Write a story of my own A tale that i don't know A picture I'm a part of Paintings I'm inside Would be worth a thousand words All the things out there unheard Far away from tick and tock Far away from clicking clocks Far away The girl who took on the world Once upon a time
Another day locked away
Told to stay and hide
Where I can’t explain how window panes contain the world outside
Heaven knows I've tried
So many stories
So many lives here to be read
All kinds of people
Parade the streets here in my head
A score of subjects
A stream of things for me to learn
But while I'm turning
I keep yearning for
Something more
A story of my own
A tale that I don't know
A picture I'm a part of
Paintings I'm inside
Would be worth a thousand words
All the things out there unheard
Far away from tick and tock
The girl who took on the world
Once upon a time
Won’t wait forever
A life confined here on a page
Between the bindings
I find a sentence and a cage
He knows, I'm certain
Yet he asks me to keep in line
To see his side
When he can't see mine
And all the people in books
The never say what they mean
Just take a look you’ll find subtext in every scene
They say they will and they won’t
They say they do and they don't
So do I dare?
Write a story of my own
A tale that i don't know
A picture I'm a part of
Paintings I'm inside
Would be worth a thousand words
All the things out there unheard
Far away from tick and tock
Far away from clicking clocks
Far away
The girl who took on the world
Once upon a time
Wow
