immigrant's tale

This is a story of a girl One who never saw the world Beyond the walls of Jericho A fairytale yet to be told Planned to be the first to leave Before her innocence is sold Now those days are out of reach Her hands were forced to let them go There she goes again Craving the attention of a stranger See the child within Living out a fantasy that she once had She once had In foreign lands they speak her name Whisper words 'til her return And though her smile could bring her fame They say the beauty was her curse There she goes again Craving the attention of a stranger See the child within Living out a fantasy that she once had She once had She once had This is a story of a girl Who grew too old to run the world
