she s a girl rising from a shell running to spring It is her time it is her time Watch her run with Ribbons undone she s a rose in a Lily s cloak she can hide her charms It is her right there will be time to chase the sun with Ribbons undone she runs like a fire does just picking up daises Comes in for a landing a pure flash of lightening Past alice blue blossoms you follow her laughter And then she ll surprise you arms filled with lavender Yes my little pony is growing up fast She corrects me and says you mean a thoroughbred A look in her eye says the Battle s beginning From school she comes home and cries I don t want to grow up Mom at least not tonight you re a girl Rising from a shell Running through Spring
