For Once

by August and J

I saw her there, on an empty beach

Just took a while for her to see

She was all alone, with the ocean air

When I whispered in her ear

She cried and she cried and she cried

'Cause she knew her life would change again tonight

For once, she can be the queen

For once, she can live the dream

She's well rehearsed, and she always learned

To love the ones who made it burn

She hangs a rose, upside down

She wears her love like a vivid crown

And she tries and she tries and she tries

She gives flowers to the living porcupine

For once, she can be the queen

For once, she can live the dream

And she tries and she tries and she tries

For once, she can be the queen

For once, she can live the dream

For once, she can be the queen

For once, she can live the dream
