Astronaut

Everybody knew her name
Not too pretty, not too plain
Suttle beauty was her game
This girl who never dared complain
The way she stared out into space
The look she had upon her face
As if she had a dream to chase
And as if she had no time to waste
A delicate being
Dressed up in pink
And blue
A feeling so strong
I wonder what’s wrong
With you
I asked her what she dreamed the most
To be a lawyer, doctor, teacher, coach
An astronaut, a game show host
First female president, rock the vote
She said
None of those are what I need
The things I seek are within me
Somethin’s comin, can’t you see
A way for love 'cause I believe
A feeling so strong
Couldn’t be wrong
She said
A look of such longing
A wish of belonging
Somewhere
I’m waiting for my prince (Someone to hug and kiss)
An angel from above (He'll shower me with love)
