You watched your life, Flickering through the trees I heard your pain, Whistling in the breeze You were only seventeen, Curiosity in reams
The wood was the place, where you were misinformed You were naive, I'll shelter you from the storm You were only seventeen, Curiosity in reams
It is time you stood against the treachery and grime You lost your innocence but soon the bells will chime Please open up your heart because loving is not a crime And just maybe one day you will be free, I know someday you will be free
You bore that child, Sent her out into the world Make sure she is safe, Like a sail that has been furled She will soon be seventeen, Let her follow all your dreams,
