about

She was a little girl who loved to draw dragons, drafting the lines to lead her further.

lyrics

Verse 1
She was a little girl who loved to draw dragons
In her sketchbook is where she found an escape
So fearless was her young imagination
She had big goals to accomplish and she just couldn’t wait

But mommy and daddy who forgot they were once young too
Told her to stop dreaming, that she’ll grow out of it soon
A cold heart’s a strong heart it will help you survive
So put your heart in a lock and
Let your head be your guide

Chorus 1
When you grow up do you really have to choose,
To give up believing in magic for the sake of some truth?
Have we all lost touch of that wonder and surprise?
Those fairy tales before saying goodnight

Verse 2
Every birthday there’s always a celebration
But she can’t figure out why things don’t feel right
Maybe it’s because she doesn’t want to live just for survival
And what she wants is long lost and hard to find

Every so often she really misses her dragons
Because she worries that they’ve all been slain
Should she standby or try and save them?
And if she decides to free her heart, is it too late?
Is that little girl gone now, is there no one left to save?

Chorus 2
When you grow up do you really have to choose,
To give up believing in magic for the sake of some truth?
Have we all lost touch of that wonder and surprise?
Those fairy tales before saying goodnight

Bridge
She’s standing in still water
Feeling she should have done more, become more by now
Move away from the motionless
Choose away from being voiceless
Draft the lines to lead you further

Chorus 3
When you grow up do you really have to choose,
To give up believing in magic for the sake of some truth?
Have we all lost touch of that wonder and surprise?
Those fairy tales before saying goodnight
The possibilities through the eyes of a child
