Almost there

She lives with her parents
she sees what she wants to see
her eyes get all puffy
when she watches TV
Her eyes slowly close
as a tears fall down
she thinks of ways to...

get a ride
out of here
take her away
she wants a life
a life to share
she is almost there
just hold on...

For so long, she cries
not even knowing why
she only wants
the words to come out right
She watches her parents fight
about money and their life
she close her eyes and thinks to herself
she wants to...

Get a ride out of here
take her away
she wants a life
a life to share
she is almost there
just hold on...

20 years from now
stuck in this town
no where to go
she is scared
she is lost
she is losing her grace
she is all over the place
but she still has her faith
she thinks she is almost there

Almost home
away from them
she cries silently
and thinks of how it could be

to get away from here
away from this place
to be new and whole
to be in a different place
