She can't stop pacing,

she never felt so alive.

Her thoughts are racing,

set on overdrive.

It takes a village,

this she knows is true.

They're expecting her,

and she's got work to do.

He helplessly stands by,

it's meaningless to try.

As he rubs his red-rimmed eyes,

he says:

"I've never seen her get this bad."

Even though she seems so high

he knows that she can't fly,

and when she falls out of the sky

he'll be standing by.

She was raised in a small midwestern town

by a charming and eccentric loving father.

She was praised as the perfect teenage girl,

and everyone thought highly of her.

And she tried everyday

with endless drive to make the grade;

Then one day she woke up to find

the perfect girl had lost her mind.

Once barely taking a break,

now she sleeps the days away.

She helplessly stands by,

it's meaningless to try.

All she wants to do is cry,

no one ever knew she was so sad.

Because even though she gets so high,

and thinks that she can fly

she will fall out of the sky.

But in the face of misery

she found hopefulness.

Feeling better, she had

weathered this depression.

Much to her advantage

she resumed her frantic pace.

Boundless power, midnight hour,

she enjoyed the race.
