The Girl Who Measured The Moon

I held a ruler to the sky No reason why, I'd just comply They told me dreams should stay below But still, I stretched, I had to know They said "The moon is not for you" "You are just a girl, you'll fade from view" But I would climb up to the roof and whisper stars my quiet truth They called me odd, they rolled their eyes they couldn't see beyond the skies they never knew that in my chest lived maps and moons I'd not confessed One night I sent my name on air A folded wish, a silent prayer No fairytale, no need to swoon. Just a girl who measured the moon
