[Requested by SoFiaLovesKpop]

Sofia sits under the shade of her favorite tree just beyond the school's soccer field. She likes to sit there every time she feels sad or burdened or if she just wants to be alone. The tranquility calms her and makes her think clearly. And right now, she just wants to sit there and think about what happened a day ago.

She took a sigh as she remembers. She went for an audition to join a musical but it was all in vain. She could still remember the face of the stage director as soon as she was finished singing. She could've been thankful for having the chance to at least try with the audition if it weren't for his sarcastic remark. He told her she should submit herself for voice lessons and asked if she just practiced a night before the day of the audition. Sofia clenched her fists. She'd been singing since she was five years old and she practiced for weeks for that audition. What does he think of her?

She stormed out of the building and went home quickly. She was crying really hard and her mom saw her just as she was about to go upstairs and asked her what happened. She hesitated at first but told her mom the truth. Her mom was shocked and frustration became evident on her face. She doesn't want her to sing anymore. They started arguing and shouted at each other. She was disappointed and hurt and dismayed and so she just ran up to her room and locked herself up.

Sofia bit her lip as tears threatened to fall. She really misses her dad. He was the only one who appreciates her singing. He was the only one who supports her in her dream. But he's gone and he's never coming back. He died three years ago due to a car accident and it shattered her family into pieces. Her mom used to love her singing but ever since her dad died, her hopes and dreams died with him as well. Trying out for that audition somehow gave her hope, but instead it just made her feel crushed.

She closed her eyes. Any moment now she's going to cry. And she doesn't want to cry. So she started singing.

I was a little girl

Alone in my little world

Who dreamed of a little home for me

I played pretend between the trees,

And fed my houseguests bark and leaves

And laughed in my pretty bed of green

I had a dream

That I could fly

From the highest swing

I had a dream

Long walks in the dark

Through woods grown behind the park

I asked God who I'm supposed to be

The stars smiled down on me

God answered in silent reverie

I said a prayer and fell asleep

I had a dream

That I could fly

From the highest tree

I had a dream

Now I'm old and feeling grey

I don't know what's left to say

About this life I'm willing to leave

I lived it full and I lived it well

There's many tales I've lived to tell
