Once upon a once a once upon a time
Lived a match girl who would light her matches in the dark
And in the flames she'd see a seventh heaven
Her mother had died, her father had left
The streets were hard and cruel
But with her matches in mind
She had a way to make her family flicker to life
In the air is a world of my dreams
A story come true
Father's here and he's proud
I can ride, I can fight
Every night I recite him a tale like Scheherazade
He puts his hand in my mother's
As they listen, they kiss
It's like this in my story
My life's seventh heaven
My mother's alive and father loves me
My floating world where I'm gravity free
All that I wish for's in my fairy story
Up high with my family
Here father loves me for who I am
And he throws me a party and he leads the games
And I outshine all the other girls
By climbing the highest wall
I'm the queen of the kingdom, ruler of you all
Then I race to the door at my father's call
Oh, the woe, he is not there
My mother's dead, is this a nightmare?
Does my father even love me?
If I'm to know, I must go below
Althea, stop
Stay up there, way down here is a dark abyss
Here's mother's kiss
Yes, it's bliss in my story
My life's seventh heaven
My mother's alive and father loves me
My floating world where I'm gravity free
All that I wish for's in this fairy story
Why change the story?
My fairy story up high with my family
And no one ever knew of the exquisite life the
Match girl had dreamt for herself in the clouds
The end
Oh, Father, hello
Sealand murdered my son, our soldiers' spirits are crushed
And what do you do, Althea? You fly
Uh, float, actually
Come down
No, this is me
Now read, Piper
Um, Peter Pan
