Only six years old, I already knew,How my life would be, what I was gonna do,Had it all worked out, I didn't see a reason why it wouldn't come about,I dreamed, I hoped, believed,And everything else in between,There was nothing in this world stopping me.
Fast forward to my early teens,I'd given up on the childhood dream,Sick of trying to fit in at school,Always being different and never being cool,I dreamed, I hoped, believed,And everything else in between,That I could be six years old again.
When I was everything I wanted to be,Nothing seemed to be out of reach,Life was simple and time was on my side.
To the little girl who loved to twirl around the bedroom dancing,Singing all the words into her hairbrush like the world was watching,Never lose your spark,Never lose your smile,Keep shining bright just like a star,You're perfect as you are.
Started working at the local store,A good job, but wanted so much more,Too big for a small town,But not knowing how to break down all the doors,I dreamed, I hoped, believed,And everything else in between,That things would change.
Didn't wanna meet mister right,Didn't need another reason to end up tied,Won't settle for settling down,When there’s a whole wide world just waiting to be found,I dreamed, I hoped, believed,And everything else in between,Needed to remember the time.
When I was everything I wanted to be,Nothing seemed to be out of reach,Life was simple and time was on my side.
To the little girl who loved to twirl around the bedroom dancing,Singing all the words into her hairbrush like the world was watching,Never lose your spark,Never lose your smile,Keep shining bright just like a star,You're perfect as you are, You're perfect as you are.

Golden was the bird I knew,Sang a song so free then flew,And they won't come back,Can't come back.
Golden was the bird long gone,Sang a little while, flew on,And they won't come back,Can't come back.
Yeah, I woke one morning, long time gone,A magpie’d come to steal away my song,Was up against the window yeah tapping on the pane,But it couldn't get in, no, kept calling my name.
Golden was the bird,And they won't come back.

Times you took my hand and filled the space between,Times you understand and taught me what it means,To be alone, to be alone, to be alone I dream to be alone,To be alone, to be alone, to be alone I dream to be alone,
It’s not complicated, it should have faded long ago,Times you took my hand and filled the space between,Times you understand and taught me what it meansTo be alone (it’s not complicated),To be alone (it should have faded),To be alone, I dream to be alone.
