There is this girl
She is meek,she is mild
She rocks my world
My worries melt when I see her smile.
She is soft, she is fragile
But don’t ever underestimate her
Though soft and fragile;
Inside she is a mighty fortress
One I turn to in distress
She laughs at hardship
She winks at the moon
Lifting her arms in worship
She knows pain and sorrow end soon
She laughs at the darkness
She sings from her pain
When my world is all madness
Every note she sings keeps me sane
She is a bundle of contradictions:
Tiny yet mighty
Fragile yet strong
Soft yet hard
She laughs while she cries
She sings through her tears
She dances past the lies
Her music dispels all my fears
She is that girl
She alone can rock my world!
