This little girl wants to fly high
but she doesn't know how to touch the sky
She is afraid of falling down
back to the life she lives on the ground
Won't you please take her hand
and show her the way up
or will you stare at the band
that keeps her afoot
Don't laugh at the girl
Who wants to break free
Because all in all
That little girl is me
