She wasn't ready
She wasn't steady
She was scared
And unprepared
She despised goodbyes
She tried and tried
She didn't want to leave it all behind
She just wanted to do some sort of rewind
You taught her not to be scared
You taught her that there's someone that cared
You taught her to be strong
And what it was like to belong
You taught her how to spread her wings
You taught her every little thing
You tell her to follow her heart
And never drift apart
She's no longer afraid
She's no longer going to fade
She's going to be steady
Stead-fast and ready
Goodbyes are going to hurt
But you have given her enough comfort
Walk with her in her path
While she does all this math
She'll keep in touch
She'll miss you way too much
But now she needs to fly
But she's going to keep her head high
She's ready to go
She's ready to know
She's ready to fly
She's ready to say goodbye

Washed Away
Quickly, quickly, oh so quickly
Another day flies by
Staying strong, staying brave
Let's just wash it all away
One more chance she wish she had
She can't get rid of all the sad
She tries and tries to stay strong
She's slipping, she's slipping one can't fall
Wishing, wishing, oh so wishing
A blue bird in that sky
How can it fly so high?
Wonder, wonder, so much wonder
Singing, singing, oh does she love to sing
She sings her heart out so someone may hear
Listen, oh listen, oh listen to her
Singing, oh singing, the night away
She sees you, she see you in her dreams
Joy, joy, oh so much joy
She wakes up and sees you more
She's no longer reaping, she's no longer sighing
Slowly, slowly, oh so slowly
Another day creeps by
Staying strong, staying brave
Let's not wash it all away

Self Relief
She closes her eyes
And slowly dies
She opens her eyes
And quickly sighs
An angel she sees
An angel she believes
One more time
One more ryhme
She slowly drifts away
To another day
She waits, she waits
Oh it's too late
Catch her, catch her she may fall
She feels so very small
Call her name, call her name
This is no longer a game
That smile, that smile, she has that smile
That can go on for miles and miles
But she doesn't know how, she doesn't know how
Show her, show her, show her now
Love her, love her, love her still
She has love that could kill
Don't you dare, don't you dare
She wakes up from this nightmare
She closes her eyes
And quickly sighs
Another day, another day
And she's okay
