SERA

Composed and performed by Franco Cianflone

Lyrics

A little while ago, I met this lady

A beautiful person, oh what a lady

She comforts me and does for me

What no other lady has done before

I care for her in a special way

Our love has grown, deep within

Caring & sharing, day by day

We are separate people but united in spirit

In love, our love will grow

Oh Sera

We found each other amidst a thousand faces

Some real and some not so real

Together in spirit

Our love will grow

Lyrics

I know how everyone else's life

Is supposed to fly by

Then someone turns and says

What about you?

And I stand here

Mouth open

Mind blank

This should have all work itself out by now

The map of my life should be clear and precise

With little red dashes and circles so nice

Showing roadblocks

And landmines

Oh, I am not unbreakable

I am breaking right now

Maybe everyone can't have the dream

Maybe everyone can't kiss the frog

Maybe it'll be me and a dog

And the little stuff dolphins on the floor

And a little dog door

Oh, I am not unbreakable

I am breaking right now

I need to be unbreakable

Somehow, it's never

Or now

Lyrics

She's just a girl, and she's on fire

Hotter than a fantasy, longer like a highway

She's living in a world, and it's on fire

Feeling the catastrophe, but she knows she can fly away

Oh, she got both feet on the ground

And she's burning it down

Oh, she got her head in the clouds

And she's not backing down

This girl is on fire

She's walking on fire

This girl is on fire

Looks like a girl, but she's a flame

So bright, she can burn your eyes

Better look the other way

You can try but you'll never forget her name

She's on top of the world

Hottest of the hottest girls say

Oh, we got our feet on the ground

And we're burning it down

Oh, got our head in the clouds

And we're not coming down

This girl is on fire

She's walking on fire

This girl is on fire

Everybody stands, as she goes by

Cause they can see the flame that's in her eyes

Watch her when she's lighting up the night

Nobody knows that she's a lonely girl

And it's a lonely world

But she gon' let it burn, baby, burn, baby

This girl is on fire

She's walking on fire

This girl is on fire

Oh, oh, oh,

She's just a girl, and she's on fire
