When we were young
I took your hand
And everyone watched
As we conquered the world
You were only one year younger
But I made you feel so much smaller
Simple instructions turned to demands
My leadership skills got out of hand
But we were young
So I took your hand
And everyone watched
As we conquered the world
I always thought
That without me
You would've been small
You would've been quiet
You would've been nothing
So when we were young
You needed my hand
Then everyone watched
As we conquered the world
We drifted apart
And years later
Our paths crossed
I saw that you had grown
Grown out of the shy little girl you once were
And into a force to be reckoned with
A leader
We are no longer young
But I reached for your hand
You slapped it away
And I silently
Enviously
Yet proudly
I Watched
As you conquered the world
