Hey baby girl
Do you believe in fate?
Do you have faith
In the world around you
Because when I see their eyes
With their electronic stares
Reflecting a soul gone cold
Telling you of their heavy load
Trying to get you to see
That it's not just me.

Hey baby girl
Did you know that your skin is bait
And your fate
Rests with what you have on your plate
He pulls your shirt down
Slides his hands around
Putting his hands places
He has no business touching
And you try to fight it
Baby girl
I know you do
But you know he's stronger than you
And all you can do is sit and watch
Helpless
Without any justice
Because it's your fault for what you were wearing

Hey baby girl
Remember the times
That were less trying
Instead of dying
You look at your shoes
And started tying
Up your problems
As if they were that simple
And they were
Baby girl
But now your older
And more mature
And you think dying
Seems more reasonable
than living
And you pray everyday
"Oh why God why?!"
Or you stare at the world
And watch it burn.

You saw all of these things happen
Baby girl
I know you did.
You watched the world burn
Baby girl
I know you did.
But pick the pieces back up
Put the puzzle back together
You are a fighting soul
You are the last
One in a million
You survived
Because someday you'll learn
To thrive
And baby girl
I can't wait for that day.

But baby girl
You need to do some growing
Maybe that's why they call them
Growing pains
Because you can't grow
Without the pain
You can't know
Without the wisdom or knowing
But you'll learn to survive.

So be brave
baby girl
Be brave
