Lyrics
Lighter than air,
floating on hope,
a handful of sunshine,
laughing at dawn,
she fills us
with her cherubic grace,
growing
with all deliberate haste.
Crying out loud,
begging for love,
dreaming of Dolphins,
she lifts her eyes,
twirling in all directions,
raising her arms to fly
over the foamy waves.
