Once upon a summertime,
In a life where everything was a lie,
There lived a girl who loved to climb.

Her parents thought it was a crime,
To let their girl go into the sky,
Once upon a summertime.

However, during her free time,
She took those occasions to say goodbye,
There lived a girl who loved to climb.

She floated up at a rapid climb,
And said to herself, “Let me fly.”
Once upon a summertime.

To explore the skies, she was in her prime,
In a daring feat, she stepped into the sky,
There lived a girl who loved to climb.

Stars, clouds–new worlds sublime
Time passed, and she realized she was sky high,
Once upon a summertime,
There lived a girl who loved to climb.
