The little girl inside of me
is someone that i used to be.
Beautiful, friendly, small and free,
that's someone that i used to be.
She dance and sang and laugh and played.
Her heart was big and she was never afraid.
She loved everything and everyone
and her eyes were as bright as the morning sun.
She was a friend of Jesus, and a daughter of God.
She prayed all day and never thought it was odd.
In her perfect world, she was one and only,
but years piled on and she became very lonely.
Jesus seemed distant even though he was always by her side.
She sat alone in her room and every night she cried.
She made mistakes again and again,
trying to change while Satin kept pulling her in.
As she got older, things became much worse.
She tried to ask for forgiveness and to put Christ first,
but the more she noticed her sins and the bad things she had done,
it hurt her so badly and she felt she had no place to run.
She became someone she never thought she'd be.
That someone she became
is me.
