I am a girl I know
But not a bird in a cage
Who can see the sky but not reach it
I am a girl I know
But not a slave in a prison
Who can imagine freedom but not live with it
I am a girl I know
But not a puppet in someone’s hands
Whose actions are controlled by someone else
I am a girl I know
But also a human
Who can dream the sky and also reach it
Who can imagine freedom to live with it
Whose actions are controlled only by herself
I am a girl I know
The double meaning comes home powerfully in the final ‘I am a girl I know.” Very nicely done. Thank you.
Thank you
