Girl (Pass Me By)
Brave. Strong. Intellectual.
The girl with the golden hair,
Distant, resourceful, hopeful
For the day to carry on
she suddenly thinks,
Pass me by with your stormy weather and shaky winds.
Pass me by with blazing sun and rays that burn my skin.
Pass me by with the drops of rain that drench my clothes,
Soaked all the way through.
Pass me by with stories of old for I am ready for new.
A new day to shine, a new sun to dawn, a new idea to bring forth, to unite the broken,
To heal the soul, to bring health to the body, to take back the hand of time with childlike simplicity,
to bring laughter back to my heart, to tell the grave to hang on because I still have life to be lived on.
Pass me by with this bad song, with heartbreaking news, with desire to do wrong.
Pass me by as I sail on to a better place, to a better land, to a better way.
Pass me by.
