Shape Them

Lyin' awake my window open
Bbreeze brushing my skin
Moon shines brighter than the stars put together
Casting shadows on the ridge
Felt a change in the air
That's when I noticed her standing there
She mouthed "goodbye"
That's when I knew they'd had another fight

Born to fly but you held her down
Born to sing but you drowned out the sound
And you just wanted her to turn out better than you did
Let her make her mistakes let them live
But don't try to shape them
No never try to shape them

She ran off to Tennessee
Finally tracked her down after two weeks
Confined her to her room
Threatened her with fancy boarding schools
Watched her vacant tears through my window
Knew she'd give it another go

Born to fly but you held her down
Born to sing but you drowned out the sound
And you just wanted her to turn out better than you did
Let her make her mistakes let them live
But don't try to shape them
No never try to shape them

Don't try to shape them
Who says your judgment's best

Born to fly but you held her down
Born to sing but you drowned out the sound
And you just wanted her to turn out better than you did
Let her make her mistakes let them live
But don't try to shape them
No never try to shape them

Moon shines oh so bright
Back where I come from
And her eyes reflected that light
And then she was gone
