If I were the girl I wanna be
I’d not let frustrations bother me
I’d sit calmly in my chair
Living life without a care
If I were the girl I wanna be
I’d take better care of me
Exercise daily, sleep 8 hours
Doing everything in my power
Making the most of this life I’m given
Now wondering why I’m not as driven
When I look deep inside of me
Why I’m not the girl I wanna be?
But I know this girl, we’ve met before
She lingers now and again at my door
She stops by long enough for me to see
Glimpses of who I wanna be
She is neat and tidy, and always dressed
Her words, soft-spoken not meant to impress
She offers encouragement when she can
Now why is that girl not who I am?
She’s in control of her whole being
Missteps from her you won’t be seeing
Because she is wise beyond her years
She trusts in God and has no fears
She’s certain where her life will lead
Fame and fortune, the least of these
Her heart is pure, her mind is set
Living each moment to have no regrets
So I take a step back and focus my gaze
At this girl I wanna be through the haze
Of my blurred vision I do believe
With a little more work that girl could be me
