I once knew a girl who changed her mind
From going down a treacherous road
and leaving her future behind
For she was the bravest person I knew
for such a young age
And in her loneliness and despair
she learned to control her rage
For she made up her mind
when her eyes were dark and empty
To look for the light
and what she found was me
I took her hand with love
and knew there was a lot to learn
For I nurtured this child
and healed myself in turn
