She don’t know where she’s headed yet
But she’s a force to be reckoned with
Cup of coffee, break of day
And a map to guide your way
To wherever and whatever’s coming next

CHORUS:
So be unafraid
Roll back your shoulders
And you brave the face
Place one foot forward
And you walk with grace
And you’re made of strength
And if you stumble on the way
I will love the mess you make

When we were young we had the world to see
Put our faith in boyhood bravery
Knights in armor, shining dress
But she’s no damsel in distress
Slippers made of glass fit smaller feet
Eyes up, eyes up, no apologies

(CHORUS)

They say you live what you’ve learned
But your heart is not had as a gift it is earned
And though I hate to let you go
We know we’ve outgrown these clothes
And when I see you again God knows . . .

(CHORUS)

I’ll be there and I will share
Every burden that you bear
And together we will face
The mess you make
