Girl

Little girl I’m sorry, that you found out this way,

That we don’t live in black and white, we seem to live in grey,

Now I’ll be honest, little girl, I’m not sure it’ll change,

But I know we’ll fight like hell, so it happens one day

I try to carry on the only way I know how,

I’m keeping my head above the clouds,

I know if I think about it for too long,

I’ll be six feet underground

Time to hold my hand, my child, my girl,

Now you’re older and tonight’s, the first,

We stick together, now or never, that’s how we survive,

Won’t you hold my hand, my child, oh it’s your time,

Ahhhh

Little girl I promise, we’re trying to pave a way,

So your road’s a little easier, than what we’re on today,

Now I’ll be honest, little girl, I’m not sure it’ll change,

But I know we’ll keep fighting, so it won’t stay the same,

I try to carry on the only way I know how,

I’m keeping my head above the clouds,

I know if I think about it for too long,

I’ll be six feet underground

Time to hold my hand, my child, my girl

Now you’re older and, tonight’s the first

We stick together, now or never, that’s how we survive

Won’t you hold my hand, my child, oh it’s your time

Ahhhh

So take my hand, little girl,

Show them you can little girl,

If it’s a man’s, man’s world

Well now’s your chance, little girl.
