The Girl Inside

You think I don't see
The person that you strive to be
You think I don't know
The strides you've made the way you've grown

Little faces shine
To be with mama share her time
They don't see the strain
Behind your smile you hide your pain

But somewhere in the twilight haze
Of broken dreams and yesterdays
Are losses yet unrealized
Shrouded in your deep brown eyes

You are called to more than this
You're called to be great
Don't forget the girl inside
It's still not too late

And there's a Sacred Fire within
The world will not abide
But don't you dare let them win
And don't forget the girl inside

Precious little feet
Runnin' through them clover leaves
Princess dressed so fair
The summer sun flows through your hair

It's your time to shine
God gave us so little time
And as you run on by
Daddy hides the ache inside

'Cause I can't keep you little girl
The window's closin' on our little world
So we'll run and read and color too
'Cause I just love this time with you

Chasing fragile butterflies
As the day grows late
Don't forget the girl inside
Your called to be great

There's a Sacred Fire within
The world will not abide
Don't you dare let them win
And don't forget the girl inside

Jesus died to set you free
There your value lies
You might have life and life more abundantly
Don't forget the girl inside

There's a Sacred Fire within
The world will not abide
Don't you dare let them win
And don't forget the girl inside

Don't forget the girl inside

Don't forget the girl inside
