What Could Have Been Lyrics

Little one with legs just swinging low

Dimples in her smile letting that good vibe flow

She's shining bright curls bouncing in the breeze

Life's shadows ain't touched her she's living free

What could've been if the dark didn't steal her light?

If her innocence stayed just a little more in sight

Who could she be if life was smooth and kind?

What did they take when they dimmed her shine?

Would she have stood tall no worries in her mind?

She might've ruled the world with love so true

Calmed the raging seas turned the skies blue

Pushed away the clouds with her mighty light

Unafraid to rise shining day and night

Shining day and night

But now her shine's buried deep and out of sight

Heavy bricks on her blocking all her might

Her openness locked steel walls all around

But the little girl inside still wants to be found

She might've ruled the world with love so true

Calmed the raging seas turned the skies blue

Pushed away the clouds with her mighty light

Unafraid to rise shining day and night

But now I see the cracks the light breaking through

Her shine's coming back her spirit renews

Maybe one day she'll rise no fear no shame

And conquer the world in her own name

She might've ruled the world with love so true

Calmed the raging seas turned the skies blue

Pushed away the clouds with her mighty light

Unafraid to rise shining day and night

But now I see the cracks the light breaking through

Her shine's coming back her spirit renews

Maybe one day she'll rise no fear no shame

And conquer the world in her own name
