Where Did She Go
Used to be when I was really me
She would leap out alive
so full of life and cockiness
the time I really thrived
Then told it's not allowed anymore
it's no good for your health
so back inside she hid away
no more my confident self
She fights to come back out again
I can feel her deep inside
pushing against the cage bars
desperate to feel alive
At times she escapes out here again
ready to dance and play
I need to help her be free
to finally have her way
Remember when you raced away
with a handsome man aside
music belting out so loud
your smile so wild and wide
Dancing down the street with glee
in stockings and heels so high
only had to choose and point
to find with whom to lie
That seems so long and far away
lost in the mists of time
that dancing girl so long gone now
let her out to shine
