A little birdie flew into my window as I cried about my life

It sang to me, "Little girl, youll be a Woman in no time... cause Two years out, on a blue skied day not one cloud, There's a strong willed lady driving a Chevy
and she'd finally freed
she's carried stories not all her own and she's missing some jewels in her crown
Cause secrets were passed down to her like breath and blood
and she had to plant seeds of truth
to turn it around
and shes gonna turn it around
Oh"

They built their walls but she fought their wars
Their pain became her starting place
and she had questions they ignored
so she had to search high and low for the answers
with an innocent broken doll face
but she somehow knows its gonna be okay

She doesnt know it yet but she's gonna drive and she's gonna steer
She'll take the reins and face the fear
Cause she speaks what no one else has the courage to say and only stands 5 foot 3 inches tall
Even if she sometimes falls, she knows good things come from pain
And its gonna be okay
Okay

Some days she feels it in her chest
The weight of things she never chose
she still dreams of something weightless
Of roots that hold her as she sleeps
and love that forever grows
Like a winding road

She doesnt know it yet but she's gonna drive and she's gonna steer
She'll take the reins and face the fear
Cause she speaks what noone wants to hear and only stands 5 foot 3 inches tall
Even if she sometimes falls, beauty is born out of the pain
And its gonna be okay

I’m not pretending it’s all light
But she's survived the darkest parts
And even when she shakes in the night
songs play inside of her heart
and she's gonna one day sing them
and its gonna be okay

She's gonna drive
She's gonna steer
and shes gonna be okay
Shes gonna fly

Shes gonna drive
Okay
Okay
