There’s a warrior inside of me
she gets me where I need to be
She slays dragons and fights monsters
all the horrific things that haunt her
She is stronger than you could fathom
she finds grounding where she lands on
She sings songs that soothe the soul
when the world around her begins to unravel
She’s always been able to piece things back where they need to be
She’s always been braver than any could see
The warrior inside of me
I am she
and she
is me
Little girl, little girl
Why do you cry?
You’re far too young to know such pain
But it’s all I see in your eyes
Little girl, little girl
You don’t have to tell me who or why
You don’t have to be okay
You just have to try
Little girl, little girl
I see the fear in your eyes
You need not be afraid
I will sing you lullabies
and hold you under the nights shade
Little girl, little girl,
Don’t grow so fast…
Sometimes the world
can feel chaotic,
hard to find your place
Take your time…
find your pace
Don’t lose your firefly,
dreams and wishes
Send them way up high
Do it your own way
Light up the sky
Little girl, little girl
Keep your chinup
Don’t cry
Inside every little girl,
Is a warrior… with fire in her eye
