hold on, baby girl.
keep your head tall
and your conscience clean.
keep your feet on the ground
and fight your own battles.

and whatever you do,
never lose sight of what's next.
don't you wait for a Prince Charming
to come save you.
little do you know that the prince
that will one day kiss you back to life
will be you.
you are your own hero,
you'll save your own story.
you're the only one who can.
