Little Girl Lost
I don't recognize this person I see
staring back in the mirror at me.
Where is the girl with the light in her eyes
a smile on her lips and love in her life?
Out of my reach but still in my sight,
she's running,
running for her life.
Her innocence lost and broken dreams scattered,
she's vainly protecting a heart that's broken and tattered.
What I wouldn't give to turn back the clock
and just once more be that
little girl lost.
