What's the matter, girl
What's hurting you so bad?
I try to hold you
But you seem to be so far
& when I reach for you
You don't look in my eyes
I wonder what it is you try to hide
Why hold it all inside?
Now you've grown into a woman,
Whole & strong
Still the girl inside you
Cries for all that's torn
& when you leave her
She is crying for your hand
I wonder how long will it take until you break?
Till you come back to her
& set her free
Just set her free
The child in me
That's longing to run free
All these years
& she's still waiting here for you
A tender soul
That was deserted in her youth
The only thing you need not do
Is desert her too
Just listen to her 'cause she always speaks the truth
& she's always there for you
So set her free
Just set her free
This child in me
That's longing to break free
I'll set her free
I'll set her free now
This girl in me
That's longing to run free
I'll set her free
