Maggie

by Emily   Jan 21, 2006


Maggie had the best of days
though it's all lost in a haze
she lit up a room with a single smile
and they'd always ask if she'd stay awhile

but Maggie never knew herself
she always lived as someone else
people thought that she was great,
but all she felt for herself was hate

Maggie lived free like a bird
never said more than a single word
with her smile she'd stop a war
and when she's sad the skies would pour

but Maggie really needed love
her whole life was just push and shove
she needed someone just to care
someone she knew would always be there

but Maggie never understood
why people care less than they should
she had been through such hard fights
and was so lonely on those cold nights

Maggie lived free like a bird
never said more than a single word
with her smile she'd stop a war
and when she's sad the skies would pour

Maggie's life had been so tough
and her relationships oh so rough
she would cry alone in bed
such sad thoughts swam through her head

but Maggie wanted to be free
of this world's insanity
to lift the weight off her shoulders
and drop 'em down like huge boulders

Maggie lived free like a bird
never said more than a single word
with her smile she'd stop a war
and when she's sad the skies would pour

she ran down the streets right through the rain
wanted to forget about all her pain
Maggie found a nice big bridge
and stood up on right the ridge

Maggie fell and thought she died,
but in his arms she had lied
he was great and showed her love
and she could finally soar just like a dove

Maggie lived free like a bird
never said more than a single word
with her smile she'd stop a war
and when she's sad the skies would pour

In the end Maggie was fine
kept showin' the world how to have a great time
her smile was brighter than before
he showed her the world, he showed her more

Maggie lived free like a bird
never said more than a single word
with her smile she'd stop a war
and when she's sad the skies would pour

and when she's sad the skies would pour

and when she's sad the skies would pour.....................
