She lives in the shadow of a lonely girl
Voice so quiet you don't hear a word
Always talking but she can't be heard

You can see it there if you catch her eye
I know she's brave but its trapped inside
Scared to talk but she don't know why

Wish I knew back then what I know now
Wish I could somehow go back in time
And maybe listen to my own advice

I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful
Everything she doesn't see
You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out
And know they right here, right now
You can be beautiful, wonderful
Anything you want to be,
Little me

Yeah, you got a lot of time to act your age
Can't write a book from a single page
Hands on a clock only turn on one way [bad word] to fast and you risk it all
Can't be afraid to take a fall
Felt so big but she looked so small

Wish I knew back then what I know now
Wish I could somehow go back in time
And maybe listen to my own advice

I'd tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out
Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful
Everything she doesn't see
You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out
And know they right here, right now
You can be beautiful, wonderful
Anything you want to be,
Little me
