Some said she was beautiful,
Some said she was exquisite,
That's just how it is,
Living in this world of lies.

She held her head up high,
Because that's what they wanted,
Not wanting her sparkle to die,
Living in this world of lies.

They wanted her to shine, she shone;
They wanted her to fly, she flew;
She was their property, she was;
Living in this world of lies.

But this world is a strange place,
And the people here are fake,
When they want something, they get it.
Not caring for a little girl's sake.

They used her, abused her, left her alone;
Cursed her, threatened her, left her broken.
Realize, my dear! That's just how it is,
Living in this world of lies.

Her sparkle withered, her shine vanished;
Her beauty lost, her wings cut;
Frustrated, she held her head down and cried;
Realizing for eternity an illusion, a deception
This is, this world of lies..
