Looking out the window
into the world
watching the lives
of each boy and each girl
thinking back to the time
when we knew nothing of heartache
back when boys had cooties
and mommy kissed out scrapes.
when we were daddy's little princess,
our lives were enchanted.
how easy those times were.
we took them for granted.
and now that we've grown
and life's full of hardships and sorrow
we just pray for the strength
to live 'til tomorrow.
fighting each day
as if we're in a war.
without a plan to survive
if we can't take it anymore.
life's little hardships
hitting us one by one
we must think about how to deal with them
before our actions can't be undone.
so pray to your angel
your guardian dear.
she's always been with you,
she's always been near.
just hold out your hand
she will help you along.
she will keep you safe.
she will keep you strong.
in your glass house life
people will always throw stones
but you will never
be left alone.
