lyrics

1 – She is good, usually kind
With her heart and her hand
Usually entwined
Sometimes tough
Sometimes weak
Sometimes hiding like a child
Who cannot speak.

2 – She set her course for the sun
With a heart like an imperfect map
Of everything she’d done
She stumbled down
The path got rough
And then again, again
Again, again, again…she got back up.

Cho – I held her back
I don’t know why
I saw how beautiful she was
When she was allowed to fly
To fly.

3 – We faced the world, we didn’t fit
And I hurt her more
Than I can now admit
I fenced her in to comfort me
Even when she fought against restraints
And struggled to be free
Be free.

Cho – I held her back
I don’t know why
I know how beautiful she is
When she's allowed to fly
To fly.
