First day at school
She wants to run, run, run
What do they say about her
Pray they do not call her a fool
Though everything is new
Could it be fun, fun, fun?
What's there to fear
Maybe she won't have to run?
Opens the front door
Feels like a barricade, a barricade
Eyes closed, she's pushing through
She's unafraid, so she tells herself
She is finding her place in school
Will never again feel a fool
She understands, she makes new friends
The bullies only cow
Because they're afraid somehow
She stands her ground
Her strength is found in love
Like every flower leans
Towards the sun, sun, sun
She reaches out and knows
To grow you have to let fear go
Opens the front door.
Feels like a barricade but she is unafraid
Now she's finding her place in life
Spending more time on why
She understands, she makes new friends
She's burning to learn and now
She gets in the race and smiles
A brave new world
Where dreams are brought to life
