Lucy walks slowly from the bus stop    A bright eyed girl of ten    She loves ballet, ponies, Bubblegum pop, playing Barbie and Ken,    Lucy’s pace slows as she approaches Mother at their front door    Mother’s face shows her aggravation,    Lucy knows what’s in store    When Dad gets home he’ll light the fuse And soon thereafter war ensues    But Lucy’s lucid    She dances through their fighting    She pays their taunts no mind    Lucy’s lucent and she prays that morning might bring the peace she hopes to find Lucy stares out her bedroom window Wishes upon a star    She’ll break away from this perilous life Her dreams will take her far    Lucy’s eyes magnify a longing to live a life less strained    A quiet child afraid she'll say the wrong thing    But fear won’t keep her chained    Someday soon she’ll take control    And she’ll will her way out of this hole Lucy’s lucid    She dances through their fighting    She pays their taunts no mind    Lucy’s lucent and she prays that morning might bring the peace she hopes to find      Words and Music Copyright 2005 Brandon Henderson
