Expectations
June 12th 1986 a new child entered this world
7lbs 8ounces a healthy beautiful baby girl.
Name her Brianna, shy yet bold
a perfect name for the baby of gold.
At the tender age of one she was running alone
By just three she was already on the phone.
When she turned five she entered school
and all the kids thought Brianna was just to cool.
CHORUS
Expectations grew from the start
and Brianna didn't play the part.
She didn't want to be the perfect child.
She wanted to live, do something, gooooo wild!
At the age of eight she kissed Bobby on the playground
rumors began and she cried without a true sound.
Brianna kept the smile on her little face
But inside she was dying without a trace.
At the age of twelve she won the meet
Mom was smiling and laughing from her seat.
Brianna saw the light in her mothers eye
But she just didn't understand why
CHORUS
At the tendar young age of fourteen she was a gymnastics star
Famous, rich and a rolemodel that couldn't even drive a car.
She was young with all these pressures on her shoulders
Besides the olympics, she still had to deal with her school folders.
CHORUS
she just wanted to live...
wanted to live...
Expectations...we all deal with this everyday of our lives. Your parents want you to turn out one way, your teachers "expect" you to do something a certain way and your friends want you do follow them. Expectations. I know my life is full of them and I try very hard to live up to them, but sometimes you just want to live...
