Little girl

Little girl
so happy and forgiving
oh how naive you are

little girl
so carefree and innocent
oh what courage you lack

little girl
so protected and loved
oh how you need to open your eyes

little girl
with your heart on your sleeve
be cautious of the world around you

oh little girl
how I wish I could protect you
but you will learn so enough

this life is rough,
friends are lost and dreams are crushed

change your ways little girl
or be trampled under the stampede
