lyrics

I would have liked to stay behind and sew beside my mother
I’d watch the seasons change and stitch by stitch, I might become her 
I may have married someone’s son and blessed the earth with children
But that’s not who I have become, not how the story's written 

This is who I was born to be
Still, how does a little girl
Become someone like me?

I didn’t mean to break my mother’s heart, my father’s faith
I'd always been their simple child, the kind that’s warm and graceful        
My auburn hair tied with a bow flowed like a gentle river
Until I took it in my hand and with my blade did sever 

This is who I was born to be
Still, how does a little girl
Become someone like me?

The day I heard the call, I tended to my father’s garden
I watched a golden light descend upon the Earth and falter
An angel whispered in my ear my fate, my sacred duty, 
That I must will these stubborn men to fight to save my country

This is who I was born to be
Still, how does a little girl
Become someone like me?
How does a little girl
Become someone like me?
