I remember when I was a little girl
I had my own spot
On top o the world
When everything I could see
And all that I could dream
Was always in my reach
When nothing was impossible
And there was no stopping obstacles
When swinging was enough to take your breath away
And just a hug or two made everything okay
I was always running wild n free
With dirty and ripped jeans
And wind knotted hair
Not ever needing to care
One moment a beauty queen
The next acting on a movie screen
Then flying in a cardboard rocket all the way to Mars
Now those days and those dreams all seem so far
Once on top now below
This side of the world Ive never been shown
Where dirty and free is out
And perfect and pretty is in
Now obstacles are all I see
No matter where I turn they constantly surround me
Once so long ago the girls beat up the boys
But now were just their toys
Now hugs dont stop the tears
Or chase away our fears
The rising of the sun was once so inviting
Since then its turned so frightening
The world is spinning so fast
I dont even know how long I can last
But I gotta keep holding on
Cause if I let go who is gonna help make it change
