Little Girl

Little girl with big black curls
Eyes so wide and open to the world
She used to think she could fly
Her backyard, a runway to the sky
A strong start, a leap so high
And if it didn't happen, it just wasn't her time

Little girl, don't shut those eyes
Little girl, reach up and touch the sky

Curiosity, down every new street
With a little red skirt and a hope that's hardly concrete
And most every day, she'd wait for the clock to change
One eleven, then five fifty-five
Just wishing to fly

Little girl, don't shut those eyes
Little girl, reach up and touch the sky

Oh, sweet innocence, don't let go
Oh, your sweet, sweet innocence, don't let go

Little girl, don't shut those eyes
Little girl, reach up and touch the sky
