    Most of my friends are female and it’s through their stories that I’ve realized how admirable it is to be a strong and confident woman in a world still run by men.
    I wish all little girls around the world were taught that they could be anything and do anything they wanted. That's what this song is about.

    =====
    Lyrics:
    Once upon a time in a far away land
    A little girl lived under her father’s hand
    She wept in silence and never talked
    Her father made sure that he called the shots
    He nailed the door shut so she couldn’t leave
    Blew out the lights so she couldn’t see
    But one night she broke through the window pane
    Nothing could stop her great escape
    ‘Cause this girl had plans
    That he’d never understand
    All the miracles she saw in her dreams
    All the amazing things that she could be
    So the little girl ran away from home you see
    Little girl go on and write your story
    Little girl rejoice ‘cause you’re finally free
    Little girl be who you wanna be
    You already know the strength inside your heart
    You don’t need someone to tell you who you are
    Go and say the words you know you long to speak
    Little girl little girl be who you wanna be
    Go and say the words you know you long to speak
    Little girl little girl be who you wanna be
    Twenty years later through the hourglass
    The little girl grew up in the time that’s passed
    All those late nights ‘cause she worked three jobs
    Started from pennies now she’s her own boss
    One day she opens up the door to meet
    A stranger at window guess who she sees
    Her father shows up with a face of red
    Head down low he looks up and says
    I know you can’t forgive
    All the things that I did
    But I’m hoping that you’ll understand
    For you I always had a plan
    So the little girl showed him all the things she achieved
    The world she saw from all the highest peaks
    How she moved the mountains with her fingertips
    Head to toe her father finally admits
    You already know the strength inside your heart
    You don’t need someone to tell you who you are
    Go and say the words you know you long to speak
    Little girl little girl be who you wanna be
    Go and say the words you know you long to speak
    Little girl little girl be who you wanna be
    Go and say the words you know you long to speak
    Little girl little girl be who you wanna be
    Be who you wanna be
    Little girl little girl be who you wanna be
    Ah
    Little girl little girl be who you wanna be

      She will love you for that...This song made me cry there is so many things I want to achieve but I never had choices I did what my mom thought was best which was school school school. I wasnt good at socializing once I left into college I had mental break downs and almost killed myself if my boyfriend didnt come to me before and told me to just say screw it and do what you want to do. I still hate making choices it scares me but I am learning to do so though and I am learning to be selfish for myself now! Now my dream is to be a nurse but my main dream is to be able to go to a beach or a forest and make my own little house and just try to be happy! SO thank you for this amazing song cause I needed to hear this...

    The first time I heard this ( the albums been on repeat for a week 😅 ) I immediately thought of my family, my dad specially, he has 3 girls and he worries I know he does but in worrying he smothered our passion for life, I'm 20 years old now I'm finally grasping my life on my 2 hands with help of my boyfriend, I'm finally screaming at the top of my lungs about what I want, that I don't need someone telling me who to be, I love my parents and I spent so long coasting through life to stick to their plan, to not worry them, my daughters will always have me watching over them protecting them as they grow, but they will know to up writing their own stories, falling in love and exploring the world, a world I have been so sheltered from previously, thank you for writing songs that help express words I thought I had lost long ago

    Amo tanto esta canción porque la escuche por primera vez cuando estaba en un punto de mi vida en el que simplemente quería darme por vencida, rendirme y dejar todo lo que alguna vez soñé para convertirme en lo que otras personas querían que fuera, para ser simplemente un títere esperando cumplir las expectativas que los demás tenían en mi, pero pude darme cuenta de que no quería eso para mi vida, no quería vivir siendo infeliz por el resto de mis días, no quería perder mi propia identidad y dejar que mi esencia se fuera y mi luz propia se apagara. Así que aquí estoy, poco a poco re descubriendo quien soy y conectando de nuevo con esas partes de mi que creía extintas, y cada vez que dudo en que pueda lograrlo, me basta con escuchar esta canción para darme fuerzas.
    Gracias ❤

    Love this song!!!This reminds me of the relationship between me and my dad.... i don't think he doesn't believe in me, it seems like the doesn't think I can be great, he doesn't understand that I have dreams of what I can accomplish.... I wish he was supportive... maybe I'm not as good as my siblings, maybe I am an anxious wreck around people, but I won't let that stop me because I believe I can do anything I set my mind to... even if he doesn't think I can.

  • @LisiStoire_Gacha
    @LisiStoire_Gacha Před rokem +7

    Oh my God 😭💖
    I wish my father could listen this song and FINALLY realise that now I'm old enough to live the life that I want and make my own choices 😆:')
    (well he doesn't understand english so it's useless to send it to him 😅 but whatever)
    Even if he could understand the lyrics, he will never admit it 😞 because my father is just like that : he's convinced that he's always right and that the most important decisions absolutely need his approbation 😓. He's not a bad person, but he's just not able to admit it when he's wrong and, in his head, "it's for your own good that I do all of that". Sometimes, we want so much the best for our child that we forget that they're not a only "part of us", but they're human too and it's to THEM to create their own life.
    To every little girl who've been struggling like me with my father all their life because of one of your close ones convinced that they knew better than you what's the best for you, never forget : you are not alone 💖 You are able to realise all you've been dreaming about, if you trust enough yourself to do it 🔥✊ Don't be ashamed about your mistakes, use them to learn and don't forget to be proud of you ✨You're the only one who can write your story because you're the only one who *really* know what you want and need ❤ We are together 😁🥰

    I showed this beautiful song to a loved one that this song directly mirrors. Everyone, including me, has told her that she should resent the man she called father, but we never understood that there was always a piece of him in her heart. She never got the chance to get her closure and has been trying to find her trueself. I feel this song will affect her in more ways then it did me who has a loving great dad
    Edit: she absolutely loved this song, and said she felt a great connection with the little girl

      happy ending? i get the song is supposed to be about making creating ya own path in life and all but try to think about the lyrics as if its a real scenario for a second.. just humor me with this okay.. a man imprisoned his daughter in a room with no light for who knows how long by literally nailing the door shut.. and then years after she escaped and she has gotten somewhere in life he comes back and tells her that it was all part of his plans for her... that is the second worst kinda parent that exists.. cus it does indeed happen sometimes... but yeah it is a great song :)

    This really speaks to my inner child. Supressed, locked in, abused and whatnot. The only difference is, that we escaped far later and not through the window. And we still have to learn that we can choose who we are and what we want to do. In short, this song helps me heal and thank you. For all your music!

    this song reminds me of when i ran away from my grandparents' because of the abuse and reminds me of my past self. Im a completely different person from her, of course, but I want to be a singer and actor to give her closure even though im a guy..

    When we was little. Our parents said "don't talk to strangers" then how do we make FRIENDS 😢🎧🖤

    Contrary to the song, I was proven people do not change.
    I left home and returned after my achievements. Only to be trapped once more. But this story sounds beautiful.
    To the all the little girls out there. Life is harsh and people do not change. But you can change.
    I am still fighting. Maybe I would be free one day. I hope maybe, though I have lost my childhood, I will lose my youth soon for the rest of my twenties will be planned, when I survive and is strong enough I would hold that girls hand. I do not want it to repeat
