she's got her ticket

she's got her ticket

i think she gonna use it

i think she going to fly away

no one should try and stop her

persuade her with their power

she says that her mind is made

up

why not leave why not

go away

too much hatred

corruption and greed

give your life

and invariably they leave you with

nothing

young girl ain't got no chances

no roots to keep her strong

she's shed all pretenses

that someday she'll belong

some folks call her a runaway

a failure in the race

but she knows where her ticket takes her

she will find her place in the sun

and she'll fly

fly

fly.
