LYRICS

V.1
I'll tell you a story about a little girl
Who wanted to go out and conquer the world
But the world was more scary than she had once thought
With villains determined to thicken the plot

C.
But she was the hero, she knew she'd last
Through every turn of the page and drip of the hourglass
Oh, and she grows

V.2
When real life hit hard, she turned to books
Where the greatest dangers were pirates with hooks
But she found herself trapped in the mermaid lagoon
Friends turned to sirens with deadly perfume

C.
But she was the hero, she knew she'd last
Through every turn of the page and drip of the hourglass
Oh, and she grows

B.
But growing up is hard when you don't know when you'll stop
She looked up at the stars and wished with every drop

V.3
In time she discovered there is a way
To survive in the world with a heart full of play
Cause it's not as scary as she had once thought
Even though villains can thicken the plot
They are just people who sadly forget
Their inner child hasn't disappeared yet

C.2
Oh, and I grow
I'm no hero, but I think I'll last
Through every turn of the page and drip of the hourglass
