The Poetic Idiot

Little Girl

Little Girl

Based upon ¿Viva La Gloria? (Little Girl) by Green Day

Little girl, little girl, let me dry your eyes,

Your demons will haunt you but leave you alive,

Little one, little one, put down all your blades,

Your soul is a wreck, but will heal in some days

So run far away, little rebel, yes run,

Run till the river and street become one,

Run from the ones who call you alone,

When there’s no place to go, there’s no place like home

Little girl, little girl, do you hear the call,

Your life still awaits you; take care not to fall,

Little one, little one, the sky is wailing,

For upon your raft of lies you’re now sailing.

So run far away, trails of blood you are leaving,

Through your tear-streaked eyes, the whole world is seething,

They call you unholy, a junkie, a liar,

They extinguish your grace, and smother your fire,

But I’m standing beside you, so you’re not alone,

As long as we’re together, there’s no place like home
