Once upon a time there was a girl
She was so free and had such beauty and longing to grow
Now like a wolf in sheep’s clothing she walks among us
She is hiding trying to disguise herself as one of us
Hiding from the filthy ugly lies she has lived
She was led down a path of her own doing
Led astray and down the wrong way
Love turned her eye blind, the truth hidden behind the broken promises
Now she faces the wolf as it is crawling and scratching its way out day by day
When did her beauty fade?
When did her eyes become so grey?
How did she get so blinded?
Where did she go astray?
The questions linger unanswered for the wolf inside her has nothing to say
And then she faces the mirror to see the reflection of the wolf within her
She says I am you and you are me we are one in the same
With her arms opened wide there is nowhere for her to hide
She is waiting to be set free
Waiting for that one arrow straight to the heart
Free her from the pain the lies the strain of her ugly life of lies
She no longer knows who she is without you
