Born to a world that’s cruel and ruthless
They pick her apart. Leave her breathless
A girl with a soul that could save the world
They beat her down. Emotions crippled.
She tries to be strong and use her voice
But it is weak and drowned by the noise
Hush little girl because you don’t matter
Her heart is crushed. Begins to shatter.
Alone at night she begins to dream
Of a beautiful place she’s never seen
She feels the pull and knows her place
It’s time to leave and make an escape
Afraid and alone she begins her climb
To embrace the world. It’s her time.
Dancing in deserts. Dive in the ocean
A true vagabond always in motion
The voices at time try to bring her down
She locks them away. Adjusts her crown
A true warrior and bird forever free
She broke the chains of destiny.
