she was a young girl in motion
another ripple in the ocean
gathering up all of her force into a wave
another year or four and she was tearing up the floor and tearing down anyone who tore into her way
she was dragging like an anchor
full of righteousness and rancor
running down her Revolutionary road
yeah, she set me straight alright on what was wrong and what was right
with all the wisdom of a twenty-two year-old
loosen up, look around you you don’t have to drive yourself into the ground
you’re only young and so afraid to see the world in all its many shades of grey
she said “I grew up with a feeling I’d be hanging from the ceiling by the time I hit the age of twenty-five
but the more that I keep breathing without looking for a reason, the more that I am glad to be alive, and I don’t know why”
