Sometimes life takes a path that is hard to walk on, so all you have to do is put on your hiking boots.


Little girl of only 13
Wasn’t scared of anything
Innocence was a crown
She wore proudly
Didn’t need to grow up
Too fast

But life moves a little speeder
Than yesterday
No more innocent little girl today

Thought this world was kind
Respected everyone and their time
But life moves too fast
Too fast for little girls today
No more innocent little girl today

Stripping away her innocence
Stripping away her innocence
Stripping away her innocence
Today
Every piece flown away
No more innocent little girl today
No more dress up
No more play
Today

Go climb trees
Imagine magical things
Keep your innocent in safe keeps

What about the 60’s
My mommy didn’t know anything
When she was a
Little girl of only 13
She wore her crown proudly

Gosh the movies they play today
Boys growing up
They are so crude
Don’t listen to them little girl
Today

Stripping away her innocence
Stripping away her innocence
Stripping away her innocence
Today
Every piece flown away
No more innocent little girl today
No more dress up
No more play
Today

Taking little piece by piece
Made fun of for not knowing anything
Little girl didn’t wear her crown proudly

But little girl don’t grow up to fast
Those boys with their crude humor won’t last
Keep your innocent locked up in safe keeps

Stripping away her innocence
Stripping away her innocence
Stripping away her innocence
Today
Every piece flown away
No more innocent little girl today
No more dress up
No more play
Today
