A little girl up on a ledge Lookin' down from on top of the world Ready to take a step into waiting arms To hold her as her body falls There's a little girl lost Somewhere on top of the world
She wants to lay her head on a pillow of clouds And pull a blanket of sky over her head The world spinnin' and crashin' into her all the time But this time (it's her instead) Standin' on the edge Lookin' down from on top of the world
She says goodbye to all the beautiful things And closes her eyes and listens To the water passing under the bridge - reminds her Of the whisper of a man she was once missin' Only in the past will time forever last And she's gonna fly (Dweezil now say goodbye...)
Little girl up on a ledge Lookin' down from on top of the world She steps forward And her breath connects to the sky as her body curls She smiles as all wishes are granted - to fly Like she does in that recurring dream.
Free. Collision. Shock. She shatters, opens, becomes the river. But for a moment, she was on top of the world.
