She left that house so long ago
She never thought she would return, she let it go
Now was the time to reconnect
In more ways than one, based on what would happen next

She made a space in the garage
Building from scratch was a task she knew was hard
Someday she's bound to have it all
One day she'll put it all together and have it solved

The engine was coming
More pieces to fit
Her life was rebuilding
and this project was it

The plan was now running
She would do it her way
As it all was assembled
the next chapter was underway

Progress was slow, but self-assured
Doggedly working at the craft all of the time
People would gather 'round the site
Children would ask about the plane being designed

The engine had come in
The pieces would fit
Her life was rebuilding
and this project was it

The motor was running
and up went the wings
She would write her own story
and this chapter that she was in

This day she's gonna have it all
Now she could finish up at last with new resolve
The whole town had all gathered on the spot
Glad she came back, and they resigned to see her off

The last parts were fitted
The propeller would spin
She inspected it fully
and confirmed everything

She'd arrived with her pack on
No intention to stay
Now she roared like a klaxon
Soaring up as she flew away
