I am a little girl,
Pure and innocent,
untouched by human flaws.
I talk to invisible friends
in a language understood
only by me.
I am free:
I am free to love
I am free to feel
I am free to be me,
and I feel so alive.
I am a little girl.
I see my mother's frown
and I am afraid.
I hear my mother's anger
and I am afraid.
I am held hostage
by others' wishes,
and I am afraid to be alive.
I am a little girl.
I find refuge in a tree.
I find peace in Solitude.
I find God in the World,
but I let him slip away,
and I am still afraid.
I am still a little girl.
God is by my side
Love has replaced fear
Beauty has touched my Heart:
Freedom comes to me--
Freedom to be me,
and I feel so alive.

I am a little girl,
Pure and innocent,
untouched by human flaws.
I talk to invisible friends
in a language understood
only by me.
I am free:
I am free to love
I am free to feel
I am free to be me,
and I feel so alive.
I am a little girl.
I see my mother's frown
and I am afraid.
I hear my mother's anger
and I am afraid.
I am held hostage
by others' wishes,
and I am afraid to be alive.
I am a little girl.
I find refuge in a tree.
I find peace in Solitude.
I find God in the World,
but I let him slip away,
and I am still afraid.
I am still a little girl.
God is by my side
Love has replaced fear
Beauty has touched my Heart:
Freedom comes to me--
Freedom to be me,
and I feel so alive.
