The girl who dreamed,
Chapter 1
A shadow drifted over the land and colored it
evil with its hand, A girl with a dream ran from
her family in the hopes of one day making them proud,
The sand shifted and the earth shook, but she
was not afraid,
'I love life too much to worry about death' the girl with the dream said,
Cities crumbled and forest turned to ash, but still
she carried on,
One thousand years went by but to her it
was just a fleeting moment, a blink of an eye,
She traveled through the fabric of time looking
searching for her dream,
People told her that she was foolish and to give up, but she refused,
'What was she looking for?' they asked, What could be so important?
'Love, ' she replied,
You sleepy?
Time for bed,
Can you keep it open? Mm-hmm, Lights? On,
You got it, I want to be able to see my friend if he comes,
What? My friend,
Who are you talking about? He lives in the woods behind my house,
He's nice,
Eric thinks he is imaginary and I just made him up,
But he's real,
You believe me, right? Of course,
Night, Rose
See you tomorrow,
Oh, really? I'm not kidding, I'll bake
the bacon but I'm not gonna make the bread, Oh really, rock
paper scissors, We're back!

Why are you hiding? Come out here, Please, let's just go,
Tell me, Where is my daughter?
Where is Rose? You're the last one that
saw her? Where is she?
I don't know,
I was,, Mom, mom, I know you're stressed, but
don't take it out on Jessica, Okay, you know her, What are you doing?
Come on, let's go home,
That's okay, Let's go home,
I don't know where she is, I'm so sorry, I don't know where she is,

Scoot over, get under the cover,
You comfy? Yes, Here we go,
That the girl who dreamed was not afraid,
This was her time, her moment without a
second thought she stepped into the darkness because
there's nothing to be afraid of
when you know the truth,
She sailed through space eyes forward,
No regrets,
This was her time, Her moment,
And she was not afraid,
'For all things must come to an end,'
Said the girl who dreamed,
Because goodbyes
endings and farewells mean you've lived,
And what a beautiful thing life is,
The end,
