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
