“She lives in the shadow of a lonely girl, always so quiet you don’t hear her word, always talking but she can’t be heard, you can see in her if you catch her eye. I know she’s brave but it’s trapped inside, scared to talk but she don’t know why.
Wish I knew back then
What I know now
Wish I could somehow
Go back in time and maybe listen to my own advice
I’d tell her to speak up, tell her to
shout out
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder
Tell her she’s beautiful, wonderful
Everything she doesn’t see
Little me
You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out,
And you know that right here, right now,
You can be beautiful, wonderful,
Anything you wanna be,
Little me
Yeah you got a lot of time to act your age
Can you write a book from a single page
Hands on the clock only turn one
way
Run too fast and you risk it all
Can’t be afraid to take a fall
Felt so big but you look so small
Wish I knew back then
What I know now
Wish I could somehow
Go back in time and maybe listen to my own advice
I’d tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder
Tell her she’s beautiful, wonderful
Everything she doesn’t see
You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out
And you know that right here, right now
You can be beautiful, wonderful
Anything you wanna be
Little me
Little me
I’d tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder
Tell her she’s beautiful, wonderful
Everything she doesn’t see
You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out
And you know that right here, right
now
You can be beautiful, wonderful
Anything you wanna be
Little me.”
