I wrote a new song!!

"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"?

  1. I like it! We should definitely try this tomorrow. What kind of music would go with it? Similar-sounding to distant years?

  2. Well 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.
