lyrics

I never thought I’d be where I am so who knows where we’ll be tomorrow?
I think now and then of my younger self, a sweet green girl with her joy and her sorrow
I work every day to make her proud, her voice was broken so I sing aloud

Every moment of the day that I second-guess every step I’ve taken to where I stand
Is a moment borrowed, is a moment blessed by a sweet green girl with a pen in her hand,
I work every day to make her proud, her voice was broken so I sing aloud
I work every day to make her proud, her voice was broken so I sing aloud

I speak to the world with a voice I’ve earned, spread my seeds in fertile soil,
Young minds listen and young minds learn while our old hearts cool and our old blood boils
I work every day to make her proud, her voice was broken so I sing aloud
I work every day to make her proud, her voice was broken so I sing aloud
I work every day to make her proud
Her voice was broken so I sing aloud
