about

I take it back from "Tracks In The Snow". This is probably my favorite song I've ever written.

lyrics

She has the face of a woman
Smooth, but toughened; almost wooden
A curse she received in her youth
Only a girl of seven
When her mother taught her a lesson
One called "the ultimate truth"
She said, "Girl, don't count on anyone
And you'll never be let down"

So how do you propose to begin
To open up to your fellow man
When you can't even see that your skin
Is porcelain, but it's as thick as cement?

I've done my share of neglecting
Those who would warrant protecting, but
You only see target boards
Don't be afraid to be human
We're stronger than you assume; we are
More than you give credit for
So now, girl, just have an ounce of faith
And you may just be astounded
