lyrics

If you want a song from a girl that does no wrong
May I suggest you journey on
Cause I fall all the time
And I have to sing to stand again
It's the only rock I have

I live for the night
When the stars decide to shine
I'll find my place in that heavenly space
One day I'll go home
Off this lonely rode

I walk across the plains
I crawl through the caves
Searching always for something I can hold
Something I can call my own

How can it be that a girl like me can't find someone to love in the sun
But I'm not alone
The wind lest me know
She plays with my hair and tells me, darling don't frown
Just look all around

I try not to be so melancholy
But people have a way of twisting what you say
So I let them believe what they think of me
Cause in my bones I know what I am

I am a singer, I am a poet
I am going places, I know it
I am a sweetheart, I am a lover
I am my father's youngest daughter

And I'll find a way, I'll sing every day
I'll work my way up from the ground
I'll give the world a show
I'll give the world a show
I'll give you a show
