Grown Up Too Fast

Take a little girl

throw her to the world

watch her eyes open wide

Her child hood dreams

and everything they mean

go up in a blaze of fire



Sifting through the ashes....piece together a woman

and after all the lashes....you realize you're grown



Take what she can take

trying to make her way

through life and love's decievings

and when she thought she'd found her place,

it's thrown back in her face

she's wrong for all she's believed in



Sifting through the ashes....piece together a woman

and after all the lashes....you realize you're alone

Break a woman's heart...you tear her world apart

you change her very soul

and she don't know what the good lord has in store

but she wants more....
