She lives in a shadow of a lonely girl
Voices 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 it's 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 that right here, right now, you can be
Beautiful, wonderful, anything you wanna be
Little me

Yeah, you gotta lotta time to act your age
You can't write a book from a single page
Hands on a clock only turn one way

Run too fast and you'll risk it all
Can't be afraid to take a fall
Felt so big but she look 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 that right here, right now, you can be
Beautiful, wonderful, anything you wanna be
Little me
