she... with an addictive dependence on life..

she'll be determined to make her mark.

cold feet.. old dreams...

she learns from mistakes to make her start.

she'll move mountains.. burn bridges..

but she'll never lose a friend.

she'll lose boys... and find lovers..

with confidence she won't bend.

support from all sides..

her mind holds her key.

she'll be referred to as she..

and they'll learn to let her dream.

she closed her eyes and took a step..

much further than she's been.

she'll forget her ways.. never forget those days..

now she is ready to begin.
