Dreamer

There was a naughty girl

And a naughty girl was she,

For nothing would she do

but look out to the sea.

the sea above her head

that we would call the sky,

cause she believed 

that all the dolphins

could fly so very high.

And yet her parents told her

there's no possibility

that this fish that is a mammal

could soar so gracefully.

But she didn't care to listen

for a dreamer is what she'll be

cause in the end 

all dreamers

get to reach 

up to the sea.
