Lyrics

Hey little girl
Where do you think you're going?
You've been trying to prove yourself
A long long time

Who are you now
Are all your demons lurking?
Getting this far has been a long long climb

She ran to the corner
To prove that she wasn't afraid
She crossed the street without looking
Over the bridge that led to downtown
She took a breath of the city air
And she had herself a look around
And sometimes she started one way
And sometimes she started for another
But the thing she'd never understand
Was why she was always running from mother...

You're always running
From the fears you're made from
They're bound to catch you, baby
In the end

In all your dreams
You suddenly grow wings
And at the last moment
You start to ascend

She ran to the corner
To prove that she wasn't afraid
She crossed the street without looking
Over the bridge that led to downtown
She took a breath of the city air
And she had herself a look around
And sometimes she started one way
And sometimes she started for another
But the thing she'd never understand
Was why she was always running from mother...

Questions remain that you will never answer
Suspected secrets taken to her grave
Who do you fear most-
Is it her or you?
Twenty years later, you're still trying to be brave...
brave...
brave...
