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
Iβm not pretending itβs 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
