Little Girl

Hey little girl
Stay so sweet
stay so young
don't be me

Keep chasing the sunshine
Keep loving fearlessly
Do what you want
Do not be afraid of anything

Say your prayer
never stop
Go to school
never drop

When you fail
try again
With that smile
You will always win

Do not be like me
Do not fail at life
Do not be a person
That confides in a knife

And never think
that cooties go away
Boys will always have them
so stay away

and when you meet one
That seems pretty nice
I am begging you, girl
to think more than twice

I just do not want you to end up like me
Or have nights that a blurred vision
is all you can see....

I once was a little girl
just like you
but I made wrong choices
in the rough times I went through

I know you really do not understand
but I hope your heart is listening
Cuz I know mine never did
and it is my inner little girl I am missing
