In the Milky Way

Verse 1
I haven't heard a word from her
In a fort night and a day
Not a trace of where she is
Or if she's gone away

Not a single thing she owned
Was taken from her room
Not a note to say good-bye
Or if she'll be home soon

Chorus 1
The rumor is she couldn't stay
She had to leave that very day
To sing and dance among the stars 
In the Milky Way

Verse 2
Celia saw a shooting star
It was just the other night
She said it looked a lot like her
As it filled the sky with light

And Devon said he thought he heard 
Her whisper in his ear
In the shadows someone stood
And then they disappeared

Chorus 2
She told me once, "I just don't fit"
In a world so dimly lit
I want to fly among the stars
In the Milky Way

Bridge
We hope she's happier
As she floats among the stars
We hope she's happier as she
Says hello to Mars

Instrumental (1/2 verse)

Chorus 1 & 2

The rumor is she couldn't stay
She had to leave that very day
To sing and dance among the stars 
In the Milky Way

She told me once I just don't fit
In a world so dimly lit
I want to fly among the stars
In the Milky Way
I want to fly among the stars
In the Milky Way
I want to fly among the stars
In the Milky Way
In the Milky Way
In the Milky Way
