Little Girl
Corey Glover Lyrics

Looking through my window
I am observing what's happening in the world outside from the comfort of my own home.

Skies so cloudy and grey
The weather outside is dull and gloomy, mirroring my own emotional state.

I'm searching for the answers
I'm trying to make sense of why things have happened the way they have.

Of why you left me this way
I'm trying to understand why someone I cared about has abandoned me, making me feel this hurt inside.

Out on the street there is laughter
People are enjoying their lives and finding happiness in the world outside, despite my own struggles.

A little girl playing so free
A child is carefree and doesn't have the same problems and worries that I am grappling with.

Not a care in her life
The little girl is completely unburdened by the weight of the world, enjoying simple pleasures like playing outside.

That's how I feel I should be
I aspire to reach a state of mind where I am also free of troubles and concerns, like the little girl outside.

Now little girl why you so happy
I am curious about the source of the child's happiness and how she remains carefree despite the problems in the world around us.

with all this chaos around
Despite the turmoil and strife in the world, the little girl seems unperturbed by it all.

Can't you tell me your secret
I want to know what the child's secret is for feeling so happy and carefree, despite the world's problems.

Of why you seldom seem down
The little girl rarely seems to be sad, and I am puzzled by how she is able to maintain her positive outlook all the time.

You know my life is so full of trouble
I'm trying to convey to the child that my own life is filled with difficulties and struggles, which make it hard for me to find joy in the same way she does.

My sunshine left me yesterday
Someone important to me has left, leaving me feeling alone and unmoored.

but you dodge all those bullets
The little girl seems to effortlessly avoid all the negative things happening in the world, and I want to learn how to do the same.

And smile when clouds come your way
Even when things are difficult or uncertain, the child remains cheerful and optimistic, and I want to understand how she does it.

Trying to make sense of it all
I am struggling to find meaning or understanding in the difficult experiences I've had recently.

But you know before I walk I must crawl
I understand that I need to take things one step at a time and be patient with myself in order to move forward.

Trying to make sense of it every day
My struggles aren't just a one-time thing - I am working on making sense of things every day, one step at a time.

but I can't help but feeling this way
Despite my best efforts, I still struggle with the same negative emotions and concerns day after day.

Got to na na naaa
This final refrain is simply a repeated exclamation of the need to move forward and keep trying, even when things are difficult.
