A six year old girl,
Full of sorrow and sadness
Has a mad, mad mother with too much madness
Her mother hits her and bruises her, like a batting machine
Oh, that girl full of secrets
Poor little Rosaline
Her teachers wonder, they ponder
But they don’t ask little Rosaline Sonder
She has no friends
She has no love
Until she meets Charlie Dove
They are best friends
That is no doubt
Until her mother finds out
She cries, she’s scared
All Rosaline thinks is that
Her mom doesn’t care
Her body is crippled, her eyes filled with tears
She’s afraid if she cries,
She’ll lose all her years
The neighbors don’t hear,
But they’ll soon find out
What Rosaline Sonder was all about
The ambulance comes
But they are far too late
For Rosaline Sonder has met her fate
It happened in the blink of an eye
While Charlie saw it happen,
He couldn’t say goodbye
Out in the graveyard, out past yonder
Laid that cold stone of Rosaline Sonder
Yes, Charlie was there, but no one had seen him float through the air
Past the stars and the clouds, the oceans and seas
To find her praying on her knees
And up in those clouds, in those stars on that night
Was Rosaline’s wonder, smiling so bright
He held out his hand, he offered his life
For Rosaline Sonder
For love, for friendship, for everlasting life
