The year is 2000
A baby is born
All she ever wants
Is to be in her mother's arms

Being in anyone else's
Makes her feel unsafe
It makes her feel as if
Her whole world is shaking

The year is 2012
Her brother is driven
Away from home
No communication for
Over a year

When he comes back
He has a whole new life
One that doesn't involve her
It makes her feel as if
Her whole world is breaking

The year is 2015
The girl has learned
What it means to lose a friend
The separation crushing
Her delicate little heart

She didn't understand
What she had done
Or how she could fix it
All she knew was that
She felt oh so lonely
And it made her feel
As if her whole world was taken

The year is 2018
Time moves on so quickly
Her childhood is gone
And she's watched
Her family fall apart
Heartache she's felt
Like never before
To the point that she thought
She couldn't go on

But she'd found hope
Even in the dark
So now she's working hard
For the new world she's making
