It's something else to see the way you're growing
From a sweet little baby to a grown up girl
And I pray though darlin' I've no way to knowing
That you'll discover a beautiful world

As you skip down the street
And hold your books so tightly
Tell me what are you learning in your ABC
Are you dreaming off all the many things you might be
You know that we're just waiting to see

Schoolgirl
You're such an inspiration
Schoolgirl
And you're as fresh as the breeze
You've got the whole world
Just waiting for you
You're really something, something to see

It's easy to worry in a world of trouble
When there's nothing but bad news
Trying to bring you down
But life doesn't have to be unuphill struggle
There's still some wonderful things to be found

There is sadness and confusion in our hearts
And the world prepares to fight
As it tears itself apart - it isn't fair
