Little girl
Innocence and purity in my eyes
No shame, no fear, no need for the lies
I say I wanna fly, so I close my eyes
Skyline, nightrise, bird's eyes
You can be whatever you want
Mama told me as I sat in the skies
Young in the world's eyes
Just young enough to believe I can fly
Then I fell
He was babysittin' me again
Sit on my lap and I'll show you something
Innocence was all I knew
Still tryna learn how to tie my shoe
I knew something was wrong
He grabbed my hips and asked for a kiss
He said I won't be long
Just watch TV and move like this
There it went,
Moving me, changing me, rearranging me
Strippin' me of my dignity
Murdering all my purity
Leaving me feelin' dirty
Before I knew what was stolen from me
Here it goes
Now I'm wondering
Should I be telling somebody
Or keep it to myself
And hope that it was all a dream
Hope that it was all a dream
My grandma said
There's a God up there
Who's surely alive
She promised me that He cares
My grandma said
There's a God up there
Who loves me
She said loves me
Make me a believer
Though I've never seen Your face
I wanna be a believer
I wanna know Love again
Make me a believer
Though I've never seen Your face
I wanna be a believer
I wanna know Love again
Ready for the world, money in my gaze
A momentary glance at life that I made
A gaze in the eyes of the child that I made
Gripped by shame, I walked away
Waitress by day, mistress by night
Gotta pay the bills, gotta keep the lights on
And I can still hear mama
Like I'm sittin' in the sky
It seems to be true
I've forgotten how to fly
If I could just remember how to fly
I'd close my eyes and fly away
Complicated situations
Leaving me frustrated
So I'm standing on the roof
35th floor
Waitin on the next wind to blow
I'll let it all go
Maybe I'll fly away
If not, I'll die today
There it went
Moving me, changing me, draining me
Strippin' me of all my dreams and my dignity
Leaving me feelin' defeated and worthless
Aimlessly watching the same old scene
The same old scene
My grandma said
There's a God up there
Who's surely alive
She promised me that He cares
My grandma said
There's a God up there
Who loves me
She said loves me
Make me a believer
Though I've never seen Your face
I wanna be a believer
I wanna know Love again
Make me a believer
Though I've never seen Your face
I wanna be a believer
I wanna know Love again
So, Make me a believer
Though I've never seen Your face
I wanna be a believer
I wanna know Love again
