The world can be an evil place
For a little girl who doesn’t fit
The other children make it hard for her
It makes her feels
That she will never be good enough
She often thinks about
What makes one part of a clique
To be accepted as you are
What properties is cool
And which isn’t attractive
So after a long day with peers
With struggles to be accepted
She just wants to hear
About people with flaws
Who’s in peace with themselves
So at bedtime
She needs something to believe in
Some hope that those bad times
Can change for the better
So, Daddy...Tell Me a Story
