Little girl

Once upon a time in a far away land

A little girl lived under her father's hand

She wept in silence and never talked

Her father made sure that he called the shots

He nailed the door shut so she couldn't leave

Blew out the lights so she couldn't see

But one night she broke through the window pane

Nothing could stop her great escape

'Cause this girl had plans

That he'd never understand

All the miracles she saw in her dreams

All the amazing things that she could be

So the little girl ran away from home you see

Little girl go on and write your story

Little girl rejoice 'cause you're finally free

Little girl be who you wanna be

You already know the strength inside your heart

You don't need someone to tell you who you are

Go and say the words you know you long to speak

Little girl little girl be who you wanna be

Go and say the words you know you long to speak

Little girl little girl be who you wanna be

Twenty years later through the hourglass

The little girl grew up in the time that's passed

All those late nights 'cause she worked three jobs

Started from pennies now she's her own boss

One day she opens up the door to meet

A stranger at window guess who she sees

Her father shows up with a face of red

Head down low he looks up and says

I know you can't forgive

All the things that I did

But I'm hoping that you'll understand

For you I always had a plan

So the little girl showed him all the things she achieved

The world she saw from all the highest peaks

How she moved the mountains with her fingertips

Head to toe her father finally admits

You already know the strength inside your heart

You don't need someone to tell you who you are

Go and say the words you know you long to speak

Little girl little girl be who you wanna be

Go and say the words you know you long to speak

Little girl little girl be who you wanna be

Go and say the words you know you long to speak

Little girl little girl be who you wanna be

Be who you wanna be

Little girl little girl be who you wanna be

Ah

Little girl little girl be who you wanna be
