Somewhere Out There,

A young girl thinks to herself,
As she looks out her window,
Some day my prince will come,
He is out there Somewhere,

Somewhere out there,
Is someone who will love her with all his heart and soul,
And she will love him,
He will never yell or hit her,
He will never leave her alone or feeling alone,
He will never treat her bad in anyway,
He will love her and treat her kindly,
There will never be one tear that falls from her eyes.

Somewhere out There,
She hears her father come home she thinks to herself,
Somewhere out There,
She hears him yell and hit her mother like so many times before,
As she hears her mother fall to the floor she thinks to herself,
Somewhere out There.

A young woman looks out her window it is late,
And she thinks of the thoughts she had as a young girl,

Somewhere out There,
Her husband comes in yelling at her again,
For something she has done wrong,
As he hits her, she falls to the floor she thinks,
Somewhere out There, but not today.

An older woman sits rocking her granddaughter
in her arms saying to her,

"Someday your prince will come for you,
He is out there somewhere,
He will love you with all his heart and soul."

The older woman thinks to herself,
Somewhere out There has long gone for her,
No one ever came for her,
No one ever loved her with all his heart and soul,
No one ever treated her kindly only harsley.

As she looks at her granddaughter she says,
"Somewhere out There
He is waiting for you."

She closes her eyes and slips away.
Somewhere out There never came for her on earth.
One can only hope he is there for her now.
Somewhere out There
