lyrics

When I was young I thought she could fly,
but I grew wiser while we grew older.
She was beautiful and to my eyes
her little smile was like the sun when I needed it.

Then I grew tall, still green inside,
when she told me many things I didn't really like.
She was afraid and hurt by human kind
and her heart couldn't discern right or wrong

Even though I thought she was perfect, the only perfect person in the world
now I know that she's not flawless, she's a human, finding her best way to live

So she laughed and she cried,
when she was younger she had dreams that she didn't achieve,
She loved men and she danced,
she rode a bicycle and fell down on the street.

Imperfectly independent
she could live her life standing on her own feet,
trying to learn from the mistakes,
praying to the universe for her own light.
She fought lies and fought hatred,
fought the dangers that were lying in her bed.
She faced the punishments arising from her sins,
but she never fell to her knees.

Even though I thought she was perfect, the only perfect person in the world
now I know that she's not flawless, she's a human finding her best way to live

So she laughed and she cried,
when she was younger she had dreams that she didn't achieve,
She loved men and she danced,
she rode a bicycle and fell down on the street.
She could give birth and death,
she gave a name and gave a hand to whom needed it,
she felt regrets and silence,
she sang melodies far from home, close to the sea.

Never able to give order to her chaos she decides to dance inside it,
and for all I know about this blessed world,
What I learnt from her I treasure in my blood.

So she laughed and she cried,
when she was younger she had dreams that she didn't achieve,
She loved men and she danced,
she rode a bicycle and fell down on the street.
She could give birth and death,
she gave a name and gave a hand to whom needed it,
she felt regrets and silence,
she sang melodies far from home, close to the sea.
