Once upon a time
There lived a beautiful maiden
She was locked in a basement
Her parents kept her hidden
From the world outside
Then came spring break vacation
The town was filled with suspicion
'Cause the young girl'd been missing
Since the winter break had ended
And she couldn't be found
They broke down the basement door
And what did they see?
She was still
The most beautiful girl that could be
37 years later
A boy appeared out of nowhere
Having no recollection
Of how he came to be there
But he continued to roam
He wandered into a forest
He walked for hours, then finally
He discovered a clearing
Her house stood right before him
And he decided to stay
He broke down the basement door
And what did he find?
The perfect place for him
To clarify the void in his mind
Late that night he was dreaming
About a life on a spaceship
He remembered a long trip
Through a cold dark distant landscape
In the Heavens above
But then a sound in the corner
Awoke the boy from his slumber
The room filled with thunder
The girl stepped from the darkness
And told the boy of her past
She broke down and cried
He held her so very tight
She cried for hours and he held her
'Til the end of the night...
The boy awoke in the morning
His arms were suddenly empty
He must have been dreaming
Or did it truly happen?
Was the girl ever there?
She had spoken with heartache
About a life that was taken
And what it might have been
If her parents released her
If the town acted sooner
If her will was to live
Then she would still be alive
They broke down the basement door
And what did they see?
She was still the most
Beautiful girl that could be
