He said, lift up your skirt, show me your world -
cotton candy pink in satin dreams.
Underneath is the glimmer of a girl.

Tea parties with dolls, sugar and cream swirls
a pretend world full of enchanting themes.
He said, lift up your skirt, show me your world.

Magic fairy tale wishes spin and twirl
secrets hidden deep in her heart. It seems
underneath is the glimmer of a girl.

Paper wings clipped and torn, ready to hurl
far as the childhood memories she beams.
He said, lift up your skirt, show me your world.

Innocence once a white glistening pearl
caught up in a hot rush, washed into streams.
Underneath is the glimmer of a girl.

Alone, into the corner she will curl
waiting for salvation. Her nightlight gleams.
He said, lift up your skirt, show me your world.
Underneath is the glimmer of a girl.
