back
make me into what you never were
show me my choices with the answers already chosen
why do I need a conscience?
you seem to have done the job pretty well
are you proud of me yet?
you've given me my Bible and said my prayers
answered the question before I even asked
molded me into your image of that innocent little girl
but you don't see what you've done
the damage you've caused
what happens when this angel wants to spread her wings?
you won't be sitting on her cage anymore
she's afraid of the world,
but wants it to save her from all that she's ever known
ignorant child
doesn't know her street smarts
lost her sense of direction
hopefully one day,
she'll find her own two feet
and can walk alone
without your guiding hands that point fingers
to show her all the ways you think she should go
