[Verse]
Gretchen walking down a road so bare
Lonely shadows whisper in the air
She's got dreams and hopes in a shoebox small
Waiting for a friend who'll hear her call
[Verse 2]
Eyes wide open searching for a sign
Skipping past the places she feels fine
Her heart beats with a longing melody
As the sun sets down she makes a plea
[Chorus]
One day someone will see her smile
Hold her hand and walk that mile
Gretchen's dream will come alive
In the warmth of a friendly hive
[Verse 3]
She writes letters never sent away
Words of friendship hidden in the gray
In her room the rain taps softly on
She dreams of days where she feels strong
[Verse 4]
Runs her fingers through her auburn hair
Ponders why life's so unfair
Yet hope flickers like a candle light
In the quiet hours of the night
[Chorus]
One day someone will see her smile
Hold her hand and walk that mile
Gretchen's dream will come alive
In the warmth of a friendly hive
