"A Little Girl"
G, Em, C, G (Verse)
G, D, Em, C (Chorus)
*C, D, G...
When I was a little girl I cried when I was bruised
As time came faster I began to see the truth
And now I see the days as precious little jewels
And now I cry at times that I feel used
It only takes little hands to feel the world around you
To sense the wind that's blowing
To know things without knowing
It only takes little feet to walk in new directions
And one by one the steps they come
Life consumes you when you're young
And I wanna see the world again through little eyes
I wanna wonder about the sky, remember when it seemed so high?
And I wanna taste the world again with little lips
I'd do anything to remember, I just want to remember
Because we grow up before we savor our perception
We're scolded into the shape we're in but take a look at where we begin
*I'd give anything to just do it again
When you were a little boy you watched the grass move
And dreamed about the creatures that were living at its roots
You held the hand of those you thought were special to you
And you didn't understand it at all, did you?
It only takes a little heart to know that you're in love
To feel the moment its begun
And turn around and love every one
It only takes a little mind to grasp that there's an end
But not worry about stuff that makes this life rough
Just being here is good enough...
And I wanna see the world again through little eyes
I wanna wonder about the sky, remember when it seemed so high?
And I wanna taste the world again with little lips
I'd do anything to remember, I just want to remember
Because we grow up before we savor our perception
We're scolded into the shape we're in but take a look at where we begin
*I'd give anything to just do it again
It's a lot like "Distant Years" with it's theme. But I don't think the topic of growing up ever gets old, there are so many ways to look at it. Hopefully the band would like to do it with me tomorrow at practice. Tell me what you think!!

What do you miss most about being "little"?

I like it! We should definitely try this tomorrow. What kind of music would go with it? Similar-sounding to distant years?
ReplyDeleteWell I have the music down, too. I played the song to Tinsley and she liked it an awful lot. It is really similar to Distant Years in mood, but the melody is completely it's own.
