The Ballerina in the Music Box

Verse 1

Thirty years the same old tune,
Soft as velvet, silver moon.
Safe inside my little box,
Dancing where the music talks.
Every night I’d close my eyes,
Floating where the melody lies.
Nothing there to make me run,
Only peace when day was done.

Pre-Chorus

Round and round, the melody,
Never asking why.
Every turn felt just like home,
Beneath a painted sky.

Chorus

I’m the ballerina in the music box,
Turning to a lullaby.
Spun so fast I popped out of the box,
Much to my surprise.
Thirty years the same sweet song,
Gentle music all night long.
Home was never left behind…
I just carried it inside.

Verse 2

Morning came, the dream would fade,
Still I’d hear the music play.
Like a whisper in my soul,
Calling me where time stood still.
Years rolled by, the world grew loud,
Hearts were broken, skies wore clouds.
Yet somewhere deep the music stayed,
Waiting where my childhood played.

Bridge

Maybe dreams are little doors,
Opening to something more.
Not to tell us where to go,
Only things we need to know.
Some become the songs we sing,
Some become the hope we bring.
Some are simply meant to stay,
Lighting up our darkest days.

Final Chorus

Outro

If you hear a music box,
Softly playing in the night,
Close your eyes and take my hand…
You’ll find your way home by its light.
