No words come
To the pink lips of the child
As her hands fall to her sides
She faces some kind of denial
A penny for your thoughts they say
But a penny is far too cheap
For what this little girl holds inside
The thoughts she fails to keep
She thinks she hears her mother calling
But that can't possibly be right
After all her mother's gone
She was lost just last night
That's why this girl is so fragile
So tiny and precious and sad
This is the second time she has lost
The first being her dad
You can't lose what you never had
And the girl never had a father
Well she did but that's not the point
She never was his daughter
Concrete sidewalks scratch her knees
She begs it to all go away
All of the pain and the loss and the people
Who have said "sorry" to her this day
Then she spies a butterfly
Just flying around in the air
She closes her eyes but still sees that butterfly
She feels it touching her hair
Slowly the girl begins to relax
Her body begins to unwind
She falls over into the grass
And the butterfly follows in kind
Darkness comes far too quickly
Time is lost somewhere along the line
People rush past and leave and go home
It's too much for this little girl's mind
Hope is lost
And time stands still
But time doesn't stand at all
People stand by windowsills
And wonder what's left at the pass
The little girl wanders and calls for a friend
A friend that will never reply
The girl was lost somewhere in time
And cannot find her way
Back to the start
Back to the love
Back to a mother she lost
