Rachel was a pretty girl, that won’t ever change,
But God, He wanted different things for her and rearranged
Her life for good.
Rachel laughed and played, but sometimes she would cry
She never let it all come out, but what she hid inside
No one understood.
She waited for a new day
Danced when there was nothing left to say
She laughed at the world when it all fell apart
Cried at the world when she felt it in her heart
That she was Someone
Unlike anyone
Alive
Rachel watched the television, watching others play the part
Of a girl and of a world she knew that she was not
On the outside
Rachel knew she had a chance, and rode that everywhere
She stayed strong and battled on, even though she was scared
On the inside
She waited for a new day
Danced when there was nothing left to say
She laughed at the world when it all fell apart
Cried at the world when she felt it in her heart
She waited, oh I waited
Oh, I laughed and I cried
Oh, I was someone
Unlike anyone
Alive
Rachel was a pretty girl, that won’t ever change.
