once upon a time
there's a young girl
in a rundown house
she's afraid of the world
and its dangers
so she never went out
her window was all she had
she spent all the day looking out
she was tired of being alone
with nobody else in the house
as the sun was down
she started singin' a song
and everyone around could hear the mellow melody
people in town
started singin' along
and she smiled
while she listened to the echo
for the very first time
in her whole life
someone noticed her
and from that moment on
she's always waiting
waiting for the night
she no longer felt so alone
with nobody else in the house
still nobody knew her name
but everyone knew her voice
as the sun was down
she started singin' a song
and everyone around could hear the mellow melody
people in town
started singin' along
and she smiled
while she listened to the echo
