I am just a young woman, I’ve embraced Heaven and slept with Hell.
I am just a young woman, I’ve fallen for the pitchman’s smooth spell.
I smile a smile that doesn’t quite curve. I live such a life, but never do learn
That I am just a young woman caught on the grounds where wise men fell.

My heart is such a simple heart, though it is ugly with all the scars.
My soul is such a simple soul, though it has carried me this far.
I laugh a small laugh that doesn’t chime like any merriment that could be mine
Because I am just a young woman caught living behind Death’s bars.

Please Lord, do hear me there and know my depth of true sincerity.
Let my enemies fade from my heart, let peace once again return to me.
Don’t see me as so naïve Lord, help me find the hope I’m looking for
Let the darkness breathe the light back into my chemistry.

I’ve fallen for words, I’ve fallen for hope, I’ve fallen and I’ve stayed down.
I’ve pitied myself, and pitied others too… I’ve cried when no one’s around.
I’ve got up from my knees, brushed the dust off with newfound ease
I feel as though a tigress on the wise yet cautious prowl.

I am just a young woman, I’ve embraced Heaven and slept with Hell.
I am just a young woman, I’ve fallen for the pitchman’s smooth spell.
I smile a smile that doesn’t quite curve. I live such a life, but never do learn
That I am just a young woman caught on the grounds where wise men fell.
