this little girl

i apologize because i wasnt always right
i apologize because i hurt you tonight
i apologize because i didnt think of you
i apologize because of what i do

now i see the fruit of my labor
all that is written in this paper
youre reaping all that i have sown
i should have just been alone

now too scared to get up on stage
to continue on the very next page
to dance and leap and glide again
to believe and know that you truly can

are you able to get up once more
after falling so many times before
is it possible to fly with broken wings
will you still live out our dreams

fear came from what has been
through all of the things ive known and seen
i could have thought and saved it all
but who could have known when she would fall

dont lose hope, i know your strength
a wonderful future at an arm's length
listen when i say please forgive me
