Drifting away to adventure
Her little paper ship waves goodbye
The forest trees are companions
Along with the river and sky
Floating with the leaves
Courageously away
Following the sun
To even better days
Little Rosie smiles, hopeful
That her friend makes it all right
A ship longs for the ocean
Just like a bird longs for the sky
Floating with the leaves
Courageously away
Following the sun
To even better days
May the wind stay strong
And the sunlight ablaze
May no rain do you wrong
And may we meet again someday
Someday
My little paper
My little paper ship
My little paper
My little paper ship
May long be its trip
