Award Winning Track
International Song of the Year Competition
lyrics
She tried her best
but it seemed to never get easy
even though the girl was oh so pretty
her smile would light up anyone’s dark
Every time she closed her eyes
she could never let a dream set to fly
why oh why
they said she was meant to sit at the door waiting to be met
So she went off
and did exactly what she wanted
but it was a mess
just like that old torn party dress
Every time she closed her eyes
she could never let a dream set to fly
why oh why
they said she was meant to sit at the door waiting to be met
Let her out, let her be
Let her out, let her be free
Every time she closes her eyes,
she now sets every single dream to fly
Every time she sees blue skies
why oh why
she learned to set their wishes aside and live her own life
she learned to set their wishes aside and live her own life
