Young Girl

Young girl plays in the water
Young girl plays in the stream
She was someone's doting daughter
Then she fell without a scream

She sinks low, begins to drop
Her heartbeat falters
About to stop
Young girl, trapped in murky water

She goes cold,
Her mind goes black
The sea has her soul
No turning back

Young girl moves
Young girl sways
Drifts beneath the sea
For countless days

Then she goes to a place
Decides to stay
The water she will no longer race
Through the sea she will not stray

Young girl plays beneath the waves
Young girl, princess of the water
No longer victim to the storm's icy raves
She is the ocean's doting daughter
