[Verse] In a town where the cornfields meet the sky Lived a young lady with dreams Oh so spry Her steps grew heavy Pain in her heels Till a doctor’s hand promised magic and heals [Verse 2] The days turned to whispers Nights gripped with lull Foot wrapped in gauze Her world felt so dull But she hummed old melodies Eyes on the moon Dreaming of the days she’d be dancing soon [Chorus] With well-worn soles She walked through the pain Every step a struggle Each hope like rain She’d sing with the wind Though her feet were bound A young lady’s spirit could not be let down [Verse 3] Autumn leaves fell and kissed the cold ground She watched from her window Longing for sound Of footsteps on gravel Of life moving on She knew in her heart The battle was won [Bridge] Doctors whispered secrets in halls marked with cold But she held her head high Her fire uncontrolled Her mother’s hand trembled Her father stayed near But she shed not a tear Casting off fear [Chorus] With well-worn soles She walked through the pain Every step a struggle Each hope like rain She’d sing with the wind Though her feet were bound A young lady’s spirit could not be let down
