Still a Child

Silence whispers, soft and slow

Quiet hopes I barely know

Promises made in fleeting glow

Seeking dreams I hide below

From the first light, I was shining bright

A star in the sky, shining through the night

Eyes watched my every move, under bright scrutiny

But inside I am still a girl, longing to just be free

They say act grown, they say be strong

But I’m still learning how to belong

Caught between who I am and who they see

Fighting to find my own melody

I am still a child, hidden inside

Lost in a world that expects me to hide

They see the fame, they forget the tears

I wear my crown of hopes and fears

Voglio crescere, ma chi sono?

Tra mille luci, cerco il mio perdono

Tutti aspettano, ma io solo voglio stare

Nel silenzio, trovare il mio vero cambiare

They say act grown, they say be strong

But I’m still learning how to belong

Caught between who I am and who they see

Fighting to find my own melody

I am still a child, hidden inside

Lost in a world that expects me to hide

They see the fame, they forget the tears

I wear my crown of hopes and fears

In the shadows of my mind, I hide my fears

Every silent plea, only I hear

Growing up so fast, I just want to slow

To understand myself, to truly grow

*(Harps and orchestra swell, soft and emotional)*

So hear my silent song, let it be known

Beneath the fame, I am alone

A girl, a child, learning to be free

To find the person I am meant to be
