[INTRO Bright synth pad. A young woman humming.]
May: "Hey, are you there? It's me. Just wanted to say... thanks for being someone I could count on."
[Synth bass drops. Beat kicks in—bright, energetic, hopeful.]
[VERSE 1]
I know this world is heavy
I know the sky is grey
They say the strong survive here
And the weak just fade away
But I've got something different
A light they can't erase
A hope that keeps me moving
Through the darkness and the waste
They paint their wars in colors
Of profit and of pride
But I see something better
On the other side
[PRE-CHORUS]
And when the missiles fly
And when the towers fall
I'll be the voice that says
We can have it all
---
[CHORUS]
I'm just a girl in a green machine
Flying through a nightmare, dreaming of a dream
They say the world is ending, but I don't believe
'Cause I've seen something beautiful in you and me
So let them fight their battles, let them stake their claims
I'll be here waiting when the silence takes the flames
A little light in all this dark, a promise I can keep
I'm May Greenfield, and I'm not afraid to dream
[VERSE 2]
I know you've seen the worst of it
The things that men become
When power is the only god
And mercy's on the run
But I've seen you in the cockpit
I've heard you on the line
And I know there's something in you
That the war can't undermine
You fight like you believe in
A world that doesn't end
And maybe that's the reason
I still call you friend
[PRE-CHORUS]
And when the missiles fly
And when the towers fall
I'll be the voice that says
We can have it all
[CHORUS]
I'm just a girl in a green machine
Flying through a nightmare, dreaming of a dream
They say the world is ending, but I don't believe
'Cause I've seen something beautiful in you and me
So let them fight their battles, let them stake their claims
I'll be here waiting when the silence takes the flames
A little light in all this dark, a promise I can keep
I'm May Greenfield, and I'm not afraid to dream
[BRIDGE Track pulls back. Just piano-like synth and May's voice.]
I don't know if we'll make it
I don't know if we'll survive
But I'd rather fall believing
Than never try
They say hope is for the foolish
That the wise have let it go
But I'd rather be a fool with you
Than face the dark alone
[FINAL CHORUS Full anthemic energy. All elements at maximum. Soaring. Defiant.]
I'm just a girl in a green machine!
Flying through a nightmare, dreaming of a dream!
They say the world is ending, but I don't believe!
'Cause I've seen something beautiful in you and me!
So let them fight their battles, let them stake their claims!
I'll be here waiting when the silence takes the flames!
A little light in all this dark, a promise I can keep!
I'm May Greenfield, and I'm not afraid to dream!
[OUTRO Track pulls back. Just the bright synth pad. May's voice, softer now.]
"Hey. You still there? Good. Just wanted you to know... you're not alone. Okay?
You’re not alone.”
