Turns

clever girl in a small town
bright mind and gentle heart
just wanting to live in love
feeling unlovable
feeling alone
feeling afraid

that's just how it was
that's just how it is
how the wheel turns

clever daughter in a small home
all alone in a big room
in the big house
that wasn't always a home
love was there
but wasn't seen
wasn't felt
somehow

that's just how it was
that's just how it is
how the wheel turns

clever mother with a gentle heart
trying her best to be a good mom
and be happy
and helpful
and good
trying to love herself
to teach her
clever daughter
that's she's worth it

that's just how it was
that's just how it is
how love turns
