Ballerina in a Music Box

And she was beautiful

Born with music in her heart
A lullaby voice of better days
Turning heads and changing hearts
Everywhere she went.

For she was beautiful
And he saw it.
Another for his collection
Less partner, more party trick
Put on display
His latest prize.
Deaf ears fall to her song
To her cries
To her wants and dreams

But still she dances
When she can.

For its the only time
She remembers what it felt like
To be beautiful
