Story Behind The Song
This is based on a real person. I felt she needed a song because so many are like her. A lonely girl lost and afraid. She dreams of hiding on the moon where no one can hurt her. But the man that loves her, tries to show her hope.

Lyrics
Nancy was a ragdoll, she had nowhere to go, she was all alone, hoping she could find a place she could hide the pain and find someone to love her.
One whish she had was to fly to the moon. No one could touch her there, she'd be safe and always alone. All she really wants is someone to need her somewhere to call home.
Chorus
Hey Nancy, don't you run so fast. You can't love with a heart of glass. Oh Nancy, don't you live in the past. You'll spend your life picking up pieces of broken glass.
Verse
Her hair is dirty, her face is a mess, wearing high heel daggers and a celophane dress. Her heart is torn but she's been blessed. Salvation is waiting and hope is a guest. She's been thinking about what she's done and said. All the people she's loved, all the people that fled. Her life is a disaster but there's hope just ahead, it just depends. She can make it, if she'll make amends.
Bridge
You must try to understand, there's someone that loves you and there's a plan. Just call if you need me, I'll be there to pick up the pieces.
verse
Now she wonderin who's the man that loves her. She just doesn't want to be alone in the night
