Lyrical Sample
A puddle
for a mirror, admiring the dress that is dragging on the ground, so
pleased with how she has put herself together, a plastic hand bag, the
two left shoes, and the floppy hat she found in the garbage, she cleans
off the dirt, for a moment she forgets to hurt
Chorus: She's Queen for
a day, she holds her head high, her crown is her hope, her robe is her
pride, her spirit is strong to dig up this road, she is the Queen for
a day.
Early next morning, she
watches her brother go off to school, and wonders what its like to watercolor,
or read from a book that is not just pictures and picture girls who
never are hungry, have blankets, and a bed, with that picture in her
head.....Chorus
With her floppy hat on,
with faith in her heart, no one can tell her that she's not the Queen
for a day...
