Of the girl in the balloon
Who touched life, not a moment too soon
Light cried the captain
We need somebody light
I’m light whispered the little girl
Bright cried the captain
We need somebody bright
I’m bright whispered the little girl
Fight cried the captain
We need somebody who will fight
I’ll fight whispered the little girl
Might cried the captain might turn rough
We’ll need somebody tough
Might be a lady whispered the little girl
But I’m bright and I’m light and if it turns rough then I’ll get tough!
Hop aboard whispered the captain
Overwhelmed by her presence
