Back When

When I was

A little girl

All I wanted to be

Was a princess

Not for power

Or prestige

But to wear

Pretty dresses

With tall shoes

That shine

When I was

A little girl

The whole world

Was just one block wide

And it was mine

To explore

And to discover

Ever leaf and turned rock

Could lead

To an adventure

When I was

A little girl

I couldn’t wait

To grow up

And start my life

Now that I’m grown

I miss that

Little girl

That I used

To be
