Still

There’s a reason

Behind every little thing

Sometimes it’s a comfort

To know just that

The years have taught me

So much for being a kid now

I smile at the thought

Because I’m all grown up

I’m on my own

But I still have help

When I call

They’ll be there

All the lessons that I’ve learned

Both big and small

I can look back now

And really see them

There’s so much more

The lessons to come

Will help me grow

Because I’m still growing up

My heart is still tender

From when that door

Shut before my eyes

It still gets to me

And I know

That in my life

There are lessons

Of life and love

Here I stand

In all my glory

No matter what

I’m still standing

I lay my heart on the line

It’s worth the risk

Because in the end

I’m still a girl

A girl that wants

Her dream come true

A girl that needs

Someone to be her friend
