Verse 1:
She’ll have a big front yard filled with flowers
And clouds of colored butterflies all around her
There’ll be secret caves and enchanted isles
A blue sky ceiling,  where  she pretends to fly
Under painted blue clouds, she’ll go off to dream
Stars and her teddy bear will watch her sleep

Chorus:
She’s building her dream house 
One prayer at a time, 
She’s dreamin’ about
Startin’ her perfect life
She wants to play/ to laugh out loud 
Forget about today / and just imagine how
Great it’s gonna be / living in her dream house

Verse 2:
The kitchen always smells like baking bread
Her daddy says he loves her as he strokes her head
She can hear her mama singing in a room upstairs
As she swings out the door into the summer air
Wishing on a milkweed wisp to bless her home
She grabs it, and holds it, and then she lets it go


Bridge:
She cries away the day inside  her trailer home
Thinkin’ about how daddy left them all alone
Momma’s passed out again from pills and tears
There’s nothin’ here
But the grey sun’s beams 
And a little girl’s dreams

End reprise: 

How great it’s gonna be  /  when her new life begins in her dream house
