She was a young girl in motion
Another ripple in the ocean
Gathering up all of her force into a wave
Another year of foreign
She was tearing up the floor and
Tearing down anyone that tore into her way
Aye
She was dragging like an achor
Full of righteousness and ranchor
Running down her revolutionary road
She set me straight alright
On what was wrong and what was right
With all the wisdom of a twenty-two year old
Oh
Loosen up, look around you
You don't have to drive yourself into the ground
You're only young and so afraid
To see the world in all its many shades of grey
She said I grew up with a feeling
I'd be hanging from the ceiling
By the time I hit the age of twenty-five
But the more that I keep breathing
Without looking for a reason, well
The more that I am glad to be alive
I don't know why
