Shayla worked in a factory.
G# C#
She wasn't history.
G#
She's just a number.
G# C#
One day she gets her
G# C# G# C# G#
final pay and she goes far away.

Green trees call to me.
G# C# G#
I am free but life is so cheap.
G# C# G# C#
Scenery is still outside of me.
G# C# G#
All alone, trapped by its beauty.

Shayla turned to run away, to
G#
leave in peace and end her stay.
C# D#
Years of fear were in her way.
G#
Lost in space and down she came.
C# A#m G# x2
G# C# G# C# G# C#
Suddenly some subtle entity, some cosmic energy,
G#
brushed her like shadows.
G# C# G# C#
Down here we stop to wonder.
G# C#
Cars on the freeway.
G#
Bright lights and thunder.
