C'mon, Dolly! from Paradise, destruction by Jesse and Forever

She was an acrobat in the shimmering light
The audience watching in silent delight
It was her moment to transcend what’s real
Most don’t get the chance to be a symbol of hope
But as the second passed she knew she wasn’t going to reach the bar
Falling through the air, she landed in the night
It saved her life
But the illusion was gone

Get back up babe
Don’t focus on the fear
You’re not one of those people who get their kicks from movies and beer
Oh, come on, Dolly!
Don’t let this moment shape your destiny
But as the days go by
She wonders if she’s lost what made her shine
That’s the greatest threat
The thoughts inside your mind

Laughter is the devil’s work
The angels try but barely flirt
When she falls a young kid roars
He thinks he’ll play with cruelty’s sword
Back at home he’s feeling strange
For showing glee at other’s pain
Now he learns to stay silent

Do you recall when you stopped being brave?
Now you worry what others will think about the words that you say
Oh, come on, Dolly!
One mistake shouldn’t stop you from being you’re free
But as the years go by
You wonder if you’ve lost what made you shine
That’s the greatest threat
The thoughts inside your mind
