GIRL

little girl standing on the pavement
people talking, they think she doesn’t know what this phrase meant
she hears the grown up words
early she’s been taught that life sometimes hurts
but she keeps singing her melody
she keeps singing her melody

when we were kids, we used to think
things gonna change once we all come of age
now we’re grown and it seems
most things are still the way they used to be
the way they used to be

teenage girl sitting at the station
parents annoying, to her protection means violation
deep inside her soul
she’d feel they want the best for her but how could she know
cause she can’t hear her melody
she can’t hear her melody

when we were kids, we used to think
things gonna change once we all come of age
now we’re grown and it seems
most things are still the way they used to be
the way they used to be

grown up girl looking into the mirror
seeing changes but her way of thinking ain’t any clearer
childhood memories
noticing there’s only one way to peace
you have to follow your melody
you have to follow your melody

but she keeps saying
„once I’m grown nothing’s gonna bring me no harm
no one is ever gonna let me down, no
and no matter what happens
I will be strong, I will be strong“
