Shannon Stephens Girl lyrics

Oh, girl, you're gonna have to grow up.
You're gonna have to be strong and navigate the storm.
Oh, and you won't want to hear it from me
but I am not letting go. I think you ought to know.

Oh, girl, when you see that the waves
are crashing over your head, remember what I said.
Oh, that when you walk through the flames,
you know I walked through them too and I believe in you.

And I'd keep you safe, I would keep you safe, safe
and tell the world to wait, to wait, to wait.


Oh girl, you've got to love your own soul.
You've got to keep it from fools and keep it like a jewel.
Oh, and you won't want to hear it from me
but you were not meant to be tied up in chains, you were meant to be free.

And I'd keep you safe, I would keep you safe, safe
and tell the world to wait, to wait, to wait.
