The Girls In Our Lives

there's a girl sitting on the old wood floors
a clever girl
so clever she unlocked the dumb ol doors

there's a girl who stays steady as a rock
a small girl
too small she can't even read a silly clock

there's girl wondering who she'll grow to be
a consistent girl
so consistent everyday at 4:00 she's pouring tea

there's a girl who sadly just had to grow up
a fragile girl
too fragile for her to live in a world so corrupt

there's a girl questioning herself every single day
a frightened girl
so frightened that she might be wrong in any way

there's a girl who is so very afraid to be alive
a broken girl
too broken to do anything but survive

there's a girl everywhere you go every way you turn
a familiar girl
so familiar you know you once saw her beauty burn

there's a girl who fights everyday for the smile on her face
a beautiful girl
too beautiful for her to fairly be in this wicked place

there's a girl in our lives that we've watch fly and then fall
a strong girl
so strong for her to everyday in every way give it her all
