"immigrant's tale"

This is a story of a girl
One who never saw the world
Beyond the walls of Jericho
A fairytale yet to be told

Planned to be the first to leave
Before her innocence is sold
Now those days are out of reach
Her hands were forced to let them go

There she goes again
Craving the attention of a stranger
See the child within
Living out a fantasy that she once had
She once had

In foreign lands they speak her name
Whisper words for her return
And though her smile could bring her fame
They say the beauty was her curse

There she goes again
Craving the attention of a stranger
See the child within
Living out a fantasy that she once had
She once had
She once had

This is a story of a girl
Who grew too old to roam the world
