When I was just a young girl I tried to do the best that I could Everything was wonderful I saw only beauty for miles Suddenly I lost something Everything I loved got away I could feel the storm building And I would spend the rest of my life Alone in the fight When I was just a young girl I Tried to hide away from the cold I could sense it traveling I was nothing more than a child Suddenly the storm hit and Every single breath was a fight I was in the midst of it Where I would spend the rest of my days Just trying to stay It's breathtaking What you've taken away It's making me strong than you Purer than you for so many days I sit and wonder how I made it through I'm sorry for you In so many ways Let me recount one last time And I would spend the rest of my life Just trying to stay It's breathtaking What you've taken away It's breathtaking When I was just a young girl When I was just a young girl It's breathtaking
