Discoveries

I’m discovering the woman inside the girl
With all her claws and laws, 'bout how to live in this world
She wants it open and she wants to keep it on the line
To clear the skies of lies, to bear the fruit on the vine
Yet, she stares out the window at nothing particular
What’s in her mind?
Is it the thought of the future, and how they will use her
To let her climb
Or maybe she is thinking of another way she’d rather be spending
Her time
I’m discovering the woman inside the girl
With all her smiles and wiles, she disappears in a whirl
Where does she go when she’s alone
And she’s desirous of a real good time
And it’s so real to feel, but she may never be mine
Cause she stares out the window at nothing particular
What’s in her mind?
Is it the thought of the future, and how they will use her
To let her climb
Or maybe she is thinking of another way she’d rather be spending
Her time
I’m discovering the woman inside the girl
I’m discovering the woman inside the girl
I’m discovering the woman inside the girl
I’m discovering the woman inside the girl
I’m discovering the woman inside the girl
While she is free to be, I’d like her safe and unfurled
She walks the pathways of a primal set of rules
That keep us all in a bind
But in the heart of my art
She will always be mine
But she stares out the window at nothing particular
What’s in her mind?
Is it the thought of the future, and how they will use her
To let her climb
Or maybe she is thinking of another way she’d rather be spending
Her time
I’m discovering the woman inside the girl
I’m discovering the woman inside the girl
I’m discovering the woman inside the girl
I’m discovering the woman inside the girl
