She’s eighteen and full of dreams
Got a fire in her heart
No lies when you look in her eyes
Finishes what she starts
Many things I see in her
The beauty of the world
I never want to see her cry
That pretty thing unfurled
Don’t change who you are, baby
This hell needs more people like you
One shining light; glimmer of hope
In a place that’s so dark.
An unmasked face I know is true
In this too-foolish farce
Pressure coming in from all sides
They think they know what’s best
I hope she will not falter here
As she’s put to the test
Don’t change who you are, darling
They need more people like you
She isn’t like the other girls
Caught up in fantasy
A bright future ahead of her
In everything she sees
Don’t change who you are, beauty
I need someone like you
