Pretty Face
Young Mind
Wander...
Wander free
she's wandered too far and can't find her way home
so she walks
step after step
smiling her sweet smile
she walks home.
Passing people
Strangers she knows
step after step
she walks home
i take her by the hand
it's been a while.
she's grown so much
she walked me home
she wouldn't tell any one
but she was walking in the dark
walking home
She's a woman herself now
no longer free
stuck walking home
when she was a child, it was a fun thing
but now it's a terrifying experience
walking in the twilight of her life
not home since morning
but still
She walks home
Older,
Wiser,
Braver,
Bolder,
the old woman walked me home
and i asked her to step in
into my home,
and i seen the little girl,
pretty face,
older mind,
She made it home
