Here I go, really doing it
I’m getting out of here
Don’t try to stop me mom and dad
Just jump for joy and cheer

I no longer have to live here
I can do anything
Jump, scream, laugh, cry, run, dance, sleep, play
Hear all the church bells ring

Hold on, daddy what do I do?
I can’t do this alone
I’m simply just a little girl
I feel like a cyclone

I don’t know what is going on
I feel weird, something’s wrong
I need help, please daddy save me
I don’t think I belong

I need to come home to my dad
I’m not ready for this
Facing the life alone is scary
Give me a goodnight kiss

I want to come home please let me
I need you to show me
Tell me I can come home to you
I miss you and mommy

Being alone at seventeen
Can be terrifying
I need someone to nurture me
And keep me from crying

Hold on, daddy what do I do?
I can’t do this alone
I’m simply just a little girl
I feel like a cyclone

Destroying everything I am
You can help remind me
Who it is that I truly am
I can’t see what you see

Daddy please, I need someone’s help
I left your side too fast
Thinking I was ready for life
But that is in the past

I want to come home, won’t you please
See the struggle I face
The world to me is a dark place
I need to slow my pace

Please understand when I say this
I’m not ready to leave
I need your help, I’m just a kid
Please won’t you just believe?

I made a grave mistake daddy
Why don’t you see it’s me?
I am your daddy’s little girl
That’s who I want to be

Relatable to a lot of people, I'm simply not ready to leave and go to college soon.
