I've always been the kind of girl
That hid my face
So afraid to tell the world
What I've got to say
...

This morning a bird woke me up. It was a lark, or a peacock; something like that. So I said hello. And it vanished, flew away, the very moment I said hello! It was quite mysterious. So do you know what I did? I went to my mirror and brushed my hair two hundred times, without stopping. And as i was brushing it, my hair turned mauve. No, honestly! Mauve! Then red. then some sort of a deep blue when the sun hit it....
...

Flip a switch
Turn up the lightning
Get it right
Show 'em how it's done
...

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
...

winter is the time of year
when everyone likes to cheer
snowmen appear in your backyard
and when you feel them they are frozen and hard
...
