[Verse] Rain pours gently on the wall A canvas cold and grey There, a child in monochrome At the close of day Her small hand reaches out Like grasping for the moon Soaring up towards the heavens Is a single red balloon [Pre-Chorus] Simple acts In complecated times Whisper loudly Under clouded skies [Chorus ] Who's the girl with the red balloon? A shadow on a wall In a world outta tune A symbol of longing for all to be free Where innocence is lost And hope takes its leave She's everyone of us, you see [Verse] See the heart, so red and pure By wind carried away Dreams drifting out of reach Never ment to stay Somewhere a life is taken Somewhere a heart is breaking It's a gasp, a sigh, From the unforsaken [Pre-Chorus] A silent statement A spray painted song Urging us to listen And to keep Holding on [Chorus] Who's the girl with the red balloon? A shadow on a wall In a world outta tune A symbol of longing for all to be free Where innocence is lost And hope takes its leave She's everyone of us, you see [Bridge] And time won't break this voice It sings on painted walls A symphony embodied In a child so small [Final chorus] Who's the girl with the red balloon? A shadow on a wall In a world outta tune A symbol of longing for all to be free Where innocence is lost And hope takes its leave She's everyone of us, you see
