Little girl

She said the world was quiet
The world was cold
People all doing
Just what they were told

When she looked out the window
All she could see
Was people hustling
With no reason to be

So she tried and she tried to
Shout to the world
To open their eyes
Yet she was never heard

Now her days are just the same
Right with the crowd
As she has grown up
Their silence rings so loud

Some nights she will remember
Tears in her eyes
Knowing that she fell
For all their adult lies
