[Verse 1]
She was a young girl in motion
Another ripple in the ocean
Gathering up all her force into a wave
Another year or four and
She was tearing up the floor and
Tearing down anyone who tore into her way

[Verse 2]
She was dragging like an anchor
Full of righteousness and rancor
Running down her revolutionary road
Yeah she set me straight alright
On what was wrong and what was right
With all the wisdom of a 22-year old

[Verse 3]
Loosen up
Look around you
You don't have to drive yourself into the ground
You're only young
And so afraid
To see the world and all its many shades of gray

[Verse 4]
She said I grew up with a feeling
I'd be hanging from the ceiling
By the time I hit the age of 25
But the more I keep breathin'
Without looking for a reason
Well the more that I am glad to be alive
And I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why
