Girl Child – What Does She Want? | Bookosmia
The night was calm
The stars were bright
Smiling upon that little light,
She is pretty and white
Like a darling lamb.
But look she is a girl
What good is she born for?
There is nothing good at all
Her brothers are brave
And she is scared;
There is nothing particular about her
The world sees her only as a girl.
She is sweet and innocent
Doesn’t know how the world is,
She climbs a tree and hurts her knee
She is only a girl, what good is she for
But all she wants is respect.
No one knows what this girl will be
Someone’s wife? Someone’s mother?
It doesn’t matter at all,
Isn’t that what she is born for?
That’s the way it is.
But look she is a girl
What good is she born for?
No one knows what she is up to
As she grows her strength within her glows
Her bravery is noted,
Her love for her nation is pure
As she seeks attention for her strength
But look, she is a girl
How much strength does she have?
What service can she give her country?
She can’t be in the army
Can she bring honor to the nation?
But look she is a girl
What good is she born for?
Stop! She will rise like a sun, which will never set
She will glow even more bright
She will rise, nothing will stop her
After all she is a girl
Who dares to stop her?
She won’t fall, her wings are now stronger
Beware! She is coming, no matter what
The world for all is all what she wants
Let the world be ready for her.
Look she is a girl
This is what she is born for.
