Something About Her

She says she’s got nothing
She says she’s got nowhere to go
She wants to be an actress
Because she’s so good at losing herself
Between each line

Waiting on tables
Rising every day for her waxing star
And every night she’s writing
And every night she dreams of all she could be
If just let free

She says, making a difference, I (you) could travel the world
I (You) could show them their poetry, and the power of girls
I (You) could be a good teacher, watch me turn on the lights (just turn on their lights)
Now give me a chance, cause I know how to fight (Give yourself a chance cause you. . .)
Well there’s something about her
Something about her
Something about her
Just shy of naive
One coffee to go, and a smile that makes you believe

She floats like an angel
Leaps across the stage like a Peter Pan
Croons the final number
About how we should do whatever we can
To take a stand

There she is and there she is
Is where she is and there she is
Cause where she is, is where she is all over town

From the counter to the corner
Of the streets to boutiques
To the high rise offices of any town

From the city to the country
To the roads to the seas
To the islands far away she is all around
