Who is this child?
Pulling on my shirt tails, her hair is tangled and wild
She looks as though she's been running
Away from somewhere or towards something
And I can't tell for sure
But there's gotta be someone
Watching over her
But either way she doesn't look well kept
She looks frightened, hungry, tired, in need of a nap
If I could, I'd take her in
But I don't have room for a kid
If I could, I'd take her in
But I promised myself I'd never do that again
Years ago...
She said, "You left me stranded like an animal
You left me abandoned and all alone
And I've been waiting patiently
Cause I have never taken your word lightly
I've been waiting patiently
You promised you'd be back to get me
Years ago..."
Now what am I supposed to do with her?
She's looking at me like I have all of the answers
She has taken my hand, and she is breathing a sigh of relief
How am I to tell her I'm not who she thought I'd be?
Who is this little child?
She keeps following me
She keeps giving me this feeling
Like there is something I forgot to complete
Years ago...
