Gentle Little Face

215 18 11
                                    

Falling through the storm clouds
That gentle, little face
Never knowing if
She'll ever find her place

Running through the clock
Never miss a beat
Forever and forever
She'll stay on her feet

She is very doubtful
She'll ever find her place
No one she has met
Has ever filled that space

When she's met her match
as time will surely tell
Will she dare to scream
Or even just to yell

Hopefully she's confident
On winning the battle, though
If I placed my bet
It would never be a no

And when she's declared winner
We'll lift her up above
But that little girl
Thinks she'll never find a love
