Lyrics
Chorus
I know a girl who still thinks there's a heaven, that skies will clear after every rain, that somehow things will always get better.
That a bright smile will always hide her pain. That a bright smile should always hide her pain.
Verse 1
She was born to a mother of five, a father she never knew, through lonely nights she seldom cried, her heart must be true.
She grew up strong and she grew up proud, learned life's lessons fast. Work today for the future, no time to brood about the past.
Chorus
Verse 2
She fought the bonds of poverty, survived the daily chore, to find a way of believing she could always achieve more.
To have a chance, to make a change, to see her young grow old. To give hope a new meaning, the story must unfold.
Chorus
Verse 3
She stands in the face of all fiction, to advance the cause of truth, she talks with crowds yet keeps her virtue, the innocense of youth.
And if the light should start to fade, she fans the fires of faith. Holding on and holding tight, her spirit will never break.
Chorus
