A child's dream

She dreams a dream

Revolving around herself

Absolving into hope

Yet into ashes, it dissolves

She dreams a dream

Of becoming a princess

To be rescued by a knight

Yet rescued, she was not

Into ashes, it dissolved

She dreams a dream

To become free

To rescue herself

Into ashes, it did not dissolve

Her dream came true

Becoming free

Saving herself from

The burning ashes of

A child's dream
