THE WOMAN I'VE COME TO BE

There's a young girl who marvels at

The woman I've come to be.

When I was young no one could see

What she could see in me.

See the woman I've come to be.

I smile when I see her

peeking through my eyes

The girl I remember now looking at me

She seems so wise

Watching the woman I've come to be

She's anxious when I move too slow

She wants me to go to places

she's seen before.

Seen them at night in her dreams, long ago

She wants me to be free and to soar.

Free to be the woman I've come to be

I speak to her I call her name

I introduce myself

I want her to love the woman

I've come to be
