Long Way to Go

She came all the way from the other side
With a childish dream as her only guide
Missed by those who loved her most
Missed by those who said "Take care"

With worried eyes as she took off into the air
She came all the way
From a place so different from mine
So afraid and yet so brave

A long way to go, long way to go
Only to know if what she had seen
In a photograph could be real
A long way to go, such a long way to go
But she will grow much stronger than before
Yes, she will grow

She came all the way from the other side
And her eyes and heart they were open wide
Sometimes treated like a fool
Sometimes like a faraway friend

With worried eyes she didn't know how it would end
She came all the way
To a place so different to her
All alone but so full of hope

A long way to go, long way to go
Only to know if what she had seen
In a photograph could be real
A long way to go, such a long way to go
But the moment she sees her image is real
All the joy in the world
She will own, she will feel
